Market Screeners are pre-configured collections of filters designed to highlight specific market conditions or standard trading setups.
These are designed for quick exploration, allowing users to instantly view lists such as the most active stocks, daily losers, new 52-week highs, and more.
Each screener displays:
- Title
- Short strategy description
- List of key filters applied behind the scenes
When you click on a screener, FinImpulse opens the Search Assets page with all filters applied automatically. You can extend, refine, sort, and export the results just as in a regular search.
For more details, see the Assets Search & Filtering Guide.
