Shinobi is a fully systematic, rules-based trend-following trading bot that uses Heikin Ashi candle patterns combined with multiple independent filters—including trend, momentum, volume, and configurable market structure—to identify short-term exhaustion and reversal points within established trends. It operates automatically without manual intervention, placing trades only after multi-filter confirmation.

Key features include a fixed risk-to-reward ratio on every trade, hard stop-loss orders from entry, risk-based position sizing scaled to stop-loss distance, and an optional session/time-window filter to limit trading hours. The bot allows only one open position at a time, avoiding pyramiding or averaging strategies.

Shinobi is primarily designed for intraday scalping on 1-minute charts, with index CFDs such as the Dow Jones / US30 as the recommended instruments. It requires brokers offering low spreads and fast execution due to its short timeframe approach. Default settings are optimized for these conditions, and users are advised to test any changes on demo accounts before live trading.

Backtested over 18 months, Shinobi showed an annualized return exceeding 600%, with a profit factor of 1.60 and a recommended risk per trade of 30%. It uses market orders and supports fixed percentage risk management with stop-loss and take-profit tools.
