Instantaneous Momentum
instantaneous_momentumHigh-frequency momentum estimated from short-horizon returns across the cross-section.
How the factor is constructed
The factor capitalizes on the tendency of assets with higher instantaneous momentum to outperform assets with lower instantaneous momentum.
The universe consists of the most liquid and actively traded assets, identified on a rolling basis and survivorship-bias free. Positions are scaled by the inverse of rolling volatility; the factor is available point-in-time with hourly updates.
