Each morning,
one guardian wakes.
A breadth-driven classifier reads the market and hands the day to whichever of four engines fits the regime, which then scans ~5,800 US stocks and ranks the morning’s setups. By 09:35 ET the list is on your screen. The decisions are entirely yours.
Today's setups, ranked.
Every morning by 9:35 ET: a ranked list of US-equity setups, each with a composite score and the engine's read. This is the actual feed, on a short delay.
Figures are from a five-year Shishin backtest, hypothetical and net of fees. Past performance does not predict future results. See the live, paper-traded track on automated solution.
A pipeline that runs while you sleep.
You receive the output. We keep the plumbing. The process is deterministic, auditable, and delivered to you daily, every decision traceable to a feature row and a timestamp.
Scan
Every weekday morning the universe scanner processes ~5,800 US-listed tickers, computing 40 indicators per stock: ADR, ATR, MA stack, breakout proximity, dollar volume, RSI, returns, range, prior-high, the inputs each engine needs to score.
Score
Each candidate is scored against the active guardian's locked composite. Genbu, Seiryū, Suzaku, Byakko, one fires per day based on the macro regime. The composite is deterministic; given the same indicators it produces the same number on every machine.
Publish
By 09:35 ET the day's ranked list lands in your inbox and on the Rankings board. Symbol, composite score, sector, the pattern tags that fired. You decide whether and how to act, we never touch your money and never tell you to act.
Four convictions we will not bend.
The strategies change. The discipline does not. These are the operating principles every engine is built against, written down, versioned, and walked-forward before a single signal goes public.
Math is the floor.
No discretionary trade enters the book without surviving a quantitative gate. Models are not the answer, they are the price of admission.
Conviction is sized.
Position sizes are functions of model agreement, not of the loudest voice in the room. Every override is logged, dated, and reviewed.
Drawdowns are a feature.
Drawdown is a metric we optimise, not one we tolerate. Every engine revision is scored on the depth of its trough as much as on its peak, return only counts at a drawdown we can hold through.
Discipline is everything.
Four strategies, one rulebook, written down and locked. Anything that can't survive a written argument never ships to the engine.
The work, in writing.
Methodology notes, backtests, and the risk philosophy behind every engine. We publish in long form, short enough to read in one sitting, specific enough to argue with.
Four guardians, one mental model.
Why Shishin's four engines carry the names of the Four Symbols of East Asian cosmology: one word for the entire market posture the system is taking today.
Quant vs discretionary, and where each wins.
Rules vs judgment: where discretionary genuinely wins, where systematic does, and why the real divide is consistency versus adaptability.
Wake up to the list.
Trade your own book.
Each morning by 09:35 ET, Shishin publishes today's list. We never touch your capital. We never instruct. The signal is yours to act on, or to ignore.
Shishin is a research publisher. We do not custody assets, manage portfolios, or accept discretionary mandates. Published signals are research output, not investment advice or solicitations to transact. Past signal performance does not predict future results.
