Long-Term Hedging Strategy
Strategy Logic
This strategy determines asset allocation and hedging based on long-term trends.
The logic is:
-
Select a base asset, moving average period and resolution
-
Compute simple moving average of the asset
-
Price crossing above MA signals long-term bullishness, go long the asset
-
Price crossing below MA signals long-term bearishness, go short the asset
-
Can also go long-only or short-only
-
Judge long-term trend using asset price versus its MA
-
Take opposing position for hedging short-term fluctuations
The strategy hedges near-term risks and focuses on the asset's secular trend, allowing steady gains.
Advantages
-
Simple MA system to determine long-term trend
-
Long/short pairing effectively hedges systemic risks
-
Clear long and short signals
Risks
-
MA lags price movements
-
Holding costs of long-term positions
-
Needs risk management across multiple legs
Summary
This strategy hedges using long-term and short-term asset combinations, emphasizing risk management. But MA lag and holding costs require consideration.
