To run this back-test robustly I need two extra pieces of information: 1. Universe of stocks • “All U.S. listed equities” can be very heavy to process. • A more tractable (and common) choice is the current S&P 1500, Russell 3000, or another defined list you prefer. Which universe should we use? 2. Price series for entry/exit • Typical implementations enter at next-day open and exit at the following day’s close (open-to-close hold). • Alternatively, we can measure close-to-close (buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close). Which convention would you like? If you’re unsure, my default recommendations are: • Universe: S&P 1500 constituents during the test window (broad but still manageable). • Price convention: next-day open entry → same-day close exit (open-to-close hold). Let me know if those defaults work or if you’d like something different, and I’ll start assembling the data retrieval plan.
