The Stocks Screener allows you to search for equities using custom filters that you apply.
What's Included
For the U.S. market, the Stock Screener uses pre-market prices starting at 9:00 AM ET. Pre-market prices are exchange delayed 15 minutes. The Screener Results returns a snapshot of the request, and do not update (as indicated by a "flash" on the price fields, normally seen on other tables).
The Screener is also designed to only return data for symbols that have actively traded in the last seven days.
Main features of the Screener include:
- Customizable filters, based on over 150 different data points, with hundreds of different combinations.
- Save a Screener: When you've defined filters that you want to use again, save the screener. A free My Barchart account allows you to save one custom screener. A Barchart Plus membership lets you save up to 10 custom screeners, while a Barchart Premier Membership allows unlimited custom screeners. Barchart Plus and Premier also allows you to save a screener with your preferred view and sort, so the next time you access it, it's formatted exactly as you want.
- Barchart Screeners: Select a sample screener provided by Barchart. You can modify the filters and save your new screener to your account.
- Save to Watchlist: You may save up to 1000 symbols from your Screener results to a new Watchlist, or append the results to an existing Watchlist.
- Custom Views: Once on the results page, you may change your view to the "Filter" view (showing you the fields you've screened for), or any of your saved Custom Views.
- Flipcharts: Page through charts of the symbols on the results page.
- Download: Download up to 1000 screener results to a .csv file. The Download will include the data fields for the View you use.
- Automatic Screener Emails: This option is available for Barchart Premier Members only. When you save a screener, you can opt to receive the top 10, 25, or 50 results via email along with an optional .csv file of the top 1000 results. Emails can be sent Overnight (3:00am CT), Market Open (9:00am CT), Mid-Day (12:00pm CT), and End-of-Day (4:45pm CT), and Monday through Friday.
Note: When selecting the Filter View for your Screener email, a filter must identify a specific search value in order for it to be included in the email.
SET FILTERS TAB
When you first load the screener, you'll see certain exchanges selected in the "Exchanges" filter. Change your Market (top right hand corner of the site) to switch to a U.S., Canadian, United Kingdom, Australian, or European Stock Screener. Starting from this list, you may include/exclude specific equities by checking or unchecking the appropriate check boxes.
- For the U.S. Market, equities covered include NYSE, NYSE Arca (AMEX), NASDAQ, and OTC-US ("Pink Sheets"). You may also choose to exclude Non-Common stocks using the check box provided in the "Exchanges" section on the Filter tab. Non Common Stocks are NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca stocks classified as unit investment trusts, closed end funds, warrant stocks, preferred securities and any non-SIC classified stock. To screen for ETFs, use the ETF Screener.

The "Filter Display" check boxes allows you to select basic fields to also appear on the Results tab when using the "Filter" View.
- To view the results of your screener, click the RESULTS tab at the top of the page or the SEE RESULTS button.
- To clear out all of the filters, click the RESET button.
Searching For Filters
The Screener lets you either find filters using the different filter categories, or you may search for a filter by entering a keyword in the search box. Filters with the keyword in their description are displayed, allowing you to choose the one you want. Once you choose a filter, you must still "Add" the filter to the screener.
Reordering Filters
Once filters are added, you may drag and drop them in the SET FILTERS tab to reorder the way they appear on the RESULTS tab (when using the Filters View). Each filter you add has the "Order" icon which is used to reposition it.
Deleting Filters
To remove a filter from your screener, click the checkbox to the left of the filter name, then click the red "Delete" button at the top of the column. You may also select all filters for deletion by clicking the checkbox at the top of the column, which selects ALL filters for deletion. You will be asked to confirm your decision to delete.
Filters
Each filter presents different options on which to screen. Many give you the option to enter a greater than or less than "value", or to enter a range of "values":
- Last Price => greater than [value] => 10.00
- Volume => between [values] => 1,000,000 and 3,000,000
Other filters allow you to identify additional criteria and compare the data to another 'field":
- Price Change => 1-Month => greater than [field] => 6-Month Price Change
- 50-Day Moving Average => less than [field] => Last Price
The New High Date and New Low Date filters allow you to enter a specific date range, or you can perform a screen relative to the current date.
- New 5-Day High Date made within the last session (today)
- New 52-Week Low Date made within the last 2-weeks
Still other filters ask you to identify a specific value defined in our database:
- Opinion => Trend Seeker® => Buy
- Index Group => S&P 500
RESULTS TAB
The total number of results from the filters you've added are shown at the top left of the screener. Your free My Barchart account allows you to view only the first 20 results of any screener, while a Barchart Plus or Barchart Premier membership allows you to view all the results.
NOTE: Equities that have not traded in the last 7 days are automatically filtered out of the screener. You may:
- Change the View
- Go back to the Filters tab to add new criteria
- Save the Screener (this saves the filters, not the results)
- Save as a Watchlist (this saves the results, not the filters)
- View Flipcharts
- Download the results
