Long/short model using a top-down and bottom-up analysis. Will use pairs trading as well in order to hedge a position.
Long/short model using a top-down and bottom-up analysis. The top-down portion will look into general market sentiment as well as general market direction. The bottom-up analysis will focus on P/E ratios as well as sector best of breed.

In order to hedge a position, the model may use pairs trading, going long a particular stock and short a competitor.
