FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What if I feel overwhelmed by all the options?
You are not alone. Many investors feel this at first. Start simple: choose one predefined screen that fits your style — like Deep Value or Magic Formula + Momentum. Think of it as trying on clothes. You do not need to wear them all at once. Pick one that feels right, load it, and see what stocks it finds. Then adjust only one setting at a time to make the screen fit your investment strategy exactly.
2. How do I know which screen is best for me?
Each screen follows a proven strategy. If you like bargains, try the Deep Value or Piotroski F-Score screen. If you want growth and momentum, try Magic Formula + Momentum. Read the short screen descriptions. Or test different ones for a few weeks to see which gives you results that match your goals.
3. Can I use this screener if I only invest in one country?
Yes, you can. After loading a screen, you can filter by country. Just click on the settings and choose the country you like. Whether you invest only in the US, Germany, or Japan — you are covered. You are in control.
4. What if I want to tweak the screen a bit?
You can. Every screen is just a starting point. Once loaded, you can change filters like trading volume, add or remove columns, and sort by what matters most to you — like Earnings Yield or Return on Capital. It is like tuning a guitar — you set it to your liking.
After making all the adjustments click Save As to save it as your screen to call up with a few mouse clicks.
5. I do not have hours to do research. Is this even for me?
Absolutely. That is the point. These screens were made to save you time. You go from login to a quality stock list in under two minutes. One user put it best: “It cut my research from days to seconds.”
6. Do I need to understand every ratio or formula before I use it?
Not at all. The screens are based on research-backed strategies already tested for performance. If you want to learn more, you can explore the glossary or use the 🔍 icon search tool for deeper info. But you can get started without knowing every metric.
7. What makes this different from free screeners online?
Three things: depth, speed, and confidence. You get access to 110+ data points, global coverage, and professional-grade strategies. And it is built by real investors, not marketers. You do not just find stocks — you find high-conviction ideas fast, based on what works.
