Shorting and hedging the short

Hi, could I request some help? If I was keen to short a particular share because I felt it had run too hard and at the same time go long the market as a hedge, what would be the best way to do this?

dont do that....go long the cash market on a long time frame and hedge with a short on a short time frame .You cant have opposing positions in the same time frame. Hedge your cash long term longs and exit your losing short term trades.
