New Stock Screener - First Beta Version
Some readers will find the new beta version disappointing because it does not yet include any new filters. We have developed a completely new interface that enables users to save and retrieve stock screens and would like you to test this and provide us with feedback before we release the full version.

To test that the screener is working:
- Select an Exchange
- Click the Run Screen button
Stock Screener - Save Screen
To save a screen, first add filters using the Add Filters menu. These will be displayed in the Current Screen section.

Second, click the Save Screen button.
And create a unique name for your saved screen.

The saved screen will then be displayed on the View Saved Screens tab.
Stock Screener - Saved Screens
To view your saved screens, select the Saved Screens tab at the top of the Stock Screener.

The Saved Screens tab offers you the option to either Run, Edit, or Delete a saved screen.

Run
The Run command will use your latest settings for:
- Exchange
- Index
- Watchlist
- Sector
If unsure of these settings, rather select Edit and then Run Screen after you have checked/adjusted them.
Feedback
Please give us your feedback. Try the new stock screener, then click the button below.
The expectations of life depend upon diligence;
the craftsman that would perfect his work
must first sharpen his tools.
