Everything here, and how to actually use it.
Primaegis is a research practice that publishes what it produces — company work, a daily read of the market, and a weekly desk note. This guide walks you through every page and every chart in plain language: what it shows, how to read it, and what to do with it.
Pick the reason you're here.
There are three honest ways to use this site, and they want different pages. Choose one and it will take you to the right part of this guide.
Three things, working together.
The site looks like a research library, and it is one. But the library is the visible end of a system that runs on a schedule, checks itself, and publishes only what passes.
The research library
Company reports, dossiers and theses — the long-form work. Each one is published exactly as it was produced, with the date it was written. Nothing is quietly edited later.
The live market read
A pre-open note, a post-close note, an intraday breadth page and a Saturday desk review. These tell you what the market is doing now, in a consistent format.
PF OS — the discipline layer
A private rules engine that governs the practice: how much risk may be taken, when a position must be cut, whether a signal is even eligible. It is not published, but it is why the published work stays consistent.
What gets published, and when.
The schedule matters as much as the content. Each note is written at a fixed point in the day, so the same page always answers the same question — and you learn where to look without thinking.
Anatomy of a report.
Every company page is laid out the same way. Click any block below to learn what it is and how to read it.
What each picture is asking.
You do not need to know how a chart is built to use it. You need to know the one question it answers — and what would make you distrust the answer.
The price chart
Asks: is this stock being accumulated or distributed?
Look at whether the highs and lows are both rising. A stock making higher highs on heavier volume, and pulling back on lighter volume, is being bought. The opposite is being sold. Everything else is refinement.
The composite engine
Asks: how many independent things agree right now?
It blends several unrelated measures into one reading, so a single noisy signal cannot dominate. Treat a strong reading as "several things line up", never as a prediction. See the indicators →
Valuations ++
Asks: is the price sensible against what the business earns?
It places today's valuation against the company's own history rather than against a rule of thumb. Cheap versus its own past is a real observation; cheap versus another industry usually isn't.
Breadth
Asks: is the whole market moving, or just the headline?
When breadth improves while the index stalls, strength is spreading quietly. When the index rises while breadth falls, the move is narrow and more fragile than it looks.
The part that says no.
PF OS is the operating layer behind the research. Its job is not to find ideas — it is to enforce the rules the practice has already agreed to, on days when following them is uncomfortable. The specifics stay private; the principles do not.
A ceiling on risk
Total exposure is capped, and each position carries its own limit. When the ceiling is reached, nothing new is added regardless of how good the next idea looks. This is checked automatically, several times a day.
An exit decided in advance
Every position has a stop set before it is entered, when the thinking is calm. Moving it afterwards is the single most common way a small loss becomes a large one, so the system records whether the original level was honoured.
A gate before entry
An idea has to clear a sequence of independent checks before it is eligible at all. Most ideas don't. A shut gate is a normal, frequent outcome — and it is reported as one rather than quietly worked around.
A scorecard, kept honestly
The system tracks how often stops were honoured, how exits drifted from plan, and whether what was said would happen actually did. Uncomfortable results are recorded the same as good ones.
Gathered, checked, then published.
Every number on this site travels the same path. Nothing reaches a page without passing each stage.
Collected
Prices, fundamentals, filings and public commentary are pulled on a fixed schedule from primary sources — exchange data and company disclosure first, never a single aggregator.
Cross-checked
Figures are reconciled against a second source before use. Where they disagree, the item is held back rather than published with a guess.
Screened
An automatic check refuses anything carrying private account detail. Anything it flags is quarantined for a human to review — it is never published to be corrected later.
Published
What survives is copied to the site exactly as produced and stamped with its date, so a report can always be judged against what was knowable at the time.
A routine that actually sticks.
Tick these off as you go — your progress is remembered on this device.
The things people ask first.
No. Everything on this site is published research and education. It does not account for your circumstances, your goals or your tolerance for loss, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Decisions — and their consequences — are yours. If you need advice, speak to someone licensed to give it.
Because they are published as produced and left as written. A report carries the date it was made, and that date is part of the information — it tells you what was knowable at the time. Silently updating old work would make the archive useless for judging whether the reasoning held up.
Yes. The post-close note settles the morning's grade whether or not it was right, and the desk review reports names that went against the thinking alongside those that worked. A research record that only contains wins is a marketing document.
The construction is the part that took the longest to get right, and it stays private. What is published is more useful anyway: what each one is asking, how to read it, and where it fails. You should be able to judge a signal by whether it holds up, not by admiring its formula.
The daily notes update every trading day, breadth refreshes through the session, and the desk review lands on Saturday. Company research appears when it is finished. If a scheduled note is missing, it usually means it did not pass the checks — which is the system working, not failing.
No, and that is deliberate. Live positions, sizes and account state are never published. What is shared is the reasoning and the record of whether it worked — which is the part that is useful to you, and the part that can be checked.
Start with today.
The fastest way in is the note that was written this morning. Read it, then come back after the close and see how it settled.
