Momentum Hedge

Hedging a core momentum based sector, industry rotation portfolio by using moving averages as the hedging (shorting) indicators.

This strategy invests equity using sector rotation as the core long position. It then tries to hedge the long position using moving average by taking short of S&P 500 if the moving average line is crossed downward. It will take off the hedge if S&P 500 is above the MA line.

This strategy is really just an instance of Moving Average Short.
