Fundamental Filters

Fundamental filters let you screen stocks based on financial data reported in SEC filings. You can filter by income statement figures, balance sheet items, cash flow metrics, and calculated valuation ratios. All fundamental filters support both quarterly (10-Q) and annual (10-K) filings and include advanced options for historical comparisons.

Categories

Fundamental filters are organized into four categories:

  • Income Statement β€” Revenue, earnings, margins, and per-share metrics such as EPS, Total Revenue, Gross Profit, Operating Income, and Net Income.

  • Balance Sheet β€” Assets, liabilities, and equity line items such as Total Assets, Total Debt, Cash & Equivalents, Goodwill, and Retained Earnings.

  • Cash Flow β€” Cash generated or used across operating, investing, and financing activities, including Free Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures, and Dividends Paid.

  • Valuation & Calculations β€” Derived ratios and metrics computed from the above statements, such as P/E Ratio, EV/EBITDA, Return on Equity, Debt-to-Equity, and EBITDA Margin.

Adding a Fundamental Filter

To add a fundamental filter, click Add Filter and select a metric from the fundamental category. You can browse by category or type to search by name. Once added, the filter card displays:

  • The metric name β€” click it to switch to a different metric.

  • A filing period button (e.g. (1 quarter)) β€” click it to configure which filing period to use and how far back to look.

  • A condition selector β€” choose how to compare the value (greater than, less than, equal to, not equal to, or between a range).

  • A value input or range inputs β€” enter the threshold you want to filter against.

  • A distribution slider β€” an interactive histogram showing how the current universe of stocks is distributed across the metric's range, so you can set thresholds visually.

Filing Options

Click the period button (e.g. (1 quarter) or (1 year)) on any fundamental filter to open the filing options panel. There are three settings:

  • Filing Type β€” Choose Quarterly to use the most recent 10-Q filing, or Annual to use the most recent 10-K filing.

  • Within β€” Sets how many recent filings to look back when checking the condition. For example, Within = 2 means the filter will pass if the condition was true in either of the two most recent filings. This is useful for catching stocks where a metric briefly dipped or spiked.

  • Lag β€” Shifts the filing used for comparison further into the past. A lag of 0 (the default) uses the most recent filing. A lag of 1 uses the filing before that β€” one quarter back for quarterly, or one year back for annual. Lag is useful when combined with fundamental-to-fundamental comparisons to compare current performance against a prior period.

Comparing One Fundamental to Another

Instead of comparing a fundamental metric against a fixed number, you can compare it against a different fundamental metric from the same or a lagged filing period. This is useful for questions like:

  • Revenue greater than Cost of Revenue

  • Net Income this quarter greater than Net Income one year ago

  • Free Cash Flow greater than Capital Expenditures

To enable this, click the Value button on a fundamental filter card and select Fundamental from the dropdown. A second metric picker will appear, along with a separate filing options button for the comparison metric β€” allowing you to independently configure its filing type and lag.

For example, to find stocks where this quarter's Net Income exceeds last year's Net Income:

  1. Add a Net Income filter.

  2. Set the condition to Greater Than.

  3. Click Value and switch to Fundamental.

  4. Select Net Income as the comparison metric.

  5. Click the comparison metric's filing options button and set Filing Type to Quarterly and Lag to 4 (four quarters back = one year ago).

Fundamental Metrics Reference

The table below lists all 283 available fundamental metrics, grouped by statement category. Each metric can be used as a filter target or as the comparison side in a fundamental‑to‑fundamental comparison.

Continuing Operations refers to the tasks required to make a product or service and deliver it to a customer.

Net Income / (Loss) Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation occurs when a segment or certain product line in a company's business has been sold, disposed of or abandoned and is subsequently reported on the company's income statement as income separate from continued operations. Because income from discontinued operations is listed separately on the income statement, investors are less likely to be misled as to the source of a company's profit. This is especially useful when companies merge, since parsing out which assets are being divested or folded up gives a clearer picture of how a company will make money in the future.

Net Increase in Fed Funds Sold

Federal funds sold and federal funds purchased consist of unsecured advances of excess balances in reserve accounts held at Federal Reserve banks. When the Company advances federal funds to a third party, it is selling its excess reserves. Similarly, when the Company receives federal funds, the Company is purchasing reserves from a third party.

Non-Cash Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income

The first adjustments made to the net income balance involve non-cash transactions that have increased or decreased the amount of net income or loss reported by the entity during the financial reporting period. The most common non-cash transaction to be adjusted involves depreciation expense or amortization. Depreciation or amortization expense occurs when the value of an owned asset is reduced to reflect a write-down in the remaining useful life of that asset. Since no cash has been actually exchanged, the amount of depreciation or amortization expense must be added back to the amount of net income or loss reported by the entity.

Valuation & Calculations (85)

Metric Description

Accounts Payable Turnover

The accounts payable turnover ratio is a short-term liquidity measure used to quantify the rate at which a company pays off its suppliers.The measure shows investors how many times per period the company pays its average payable amount. Accounts payable represents short-term debt obligations that a company must pay off.

Accounts Receivable Turnover

Altman Z-Score

The Altman Z-score is the output of a credit-strength test that gauges a publicly traded manufacturing company's likelihood of bankruptcy. The Altman Z-score is based on five financial ratios that can be calculated from data found on a company's annual 10K report. It uses profitability, leverage, liquidity, solvency and activity to predict whether a company has a high degree of probability of being insolvent. A score below 1.8 means the company is probably headed for bankruptcy, while companies with scores above 3 are not likely to go bankrupt. Investors can use Altman Z-scores to determine whether they should buy or sell a particular stock if they're concerned about the underlying company's financial strength. Investors may consider purchasing a stock if its Altman Z-Score value is closer to 3 and selling or shorting a stock if the value is closer to 1.8.

Asset Turnover

Asset turnover is the value of a companys sales or revenues generated relative to the value of its assets. The Asset Turnover can often be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is deploying its assets in generating revenue. In general, the higher the asset turnover ratio, the better the company is performing, since higher ratios imply that the company is generating more revenue per dollar of assets.

Current Ratio

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term and long-term obligations. The current ratio is mainly used to give an idea of the company's ability to pay back its liabilities (debt and accounts payable) with its assets (cash, marketable securities, inventory, accounts receivable). As such, current ratio can be used to take a rough measurement of a companys financial health. The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations, as it has a larger proportion of asset value relative to the value of its liabilities.

Days Inventory Outstanding

The days sales of inventory value, or DSI, is a financial measure of a company's performance that gives investors an idea of how long it takes a company to turn its inventory (including goods that are a work in progress, if applicable) into sales. Generally, a lower (shorter) DSI is preferred, but it is important to note that the average DSI varies from one industry to another.

Days Payable Outstanding

Days payable outstanding (DPO) is a company's average payable period. Days payable outstanding tells how long it takes a company to pay its invoices from trade creditors, such as suppliers. DPO is typically looked at either quarterly or yearly.

Days Sales Outstanding

Days sales outstanding (DSO) is a measure of the average number of days that a company takes to collect revenue after a sale has been made. DSO is often determined on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and can be calculated by dividing the amount of accounts receivable during a given period by the total value of credit sales during the same period, and multiplying the result by the number of days in the period measured.

Debt to EBITDA

Debt/EBITDA is a measure of a company's ability to pay off its incurred debt. The ratio gives the investor the approximate amount of time that would be needed to pay off all debt, ignoring the factors of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Commonly used by credit rating agencies to assess a company's probability of defaulting on issued debt, a high Debt/EBITDA ratio suggests that a firm may not be able to service its debt in an appropriate manner and warrants a lowered credit rating.

Debt to Equity

Debt/Equity Ratio is a debt ratio used to measure a company's financial leverage, calculated by dividing a companys total liabilities by its stockholders' equity. The D/E ratio indicates how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value represented in shareholders equity.

Debt to Total Capital

The debt-to-capital ratio is a measurement of a company's financial leverage. The debt-to-capital ratio is calculated by taking the company's debt, including both short- and long-term liabilities and dividing it by the total capital. Total capital is all debt plus shareholders' equity, which may include items such as common stock, preferred stock and minority interest.

Dividend Payout Ratio

The dividend payout ratio provides an indication of how much money a company is returning to shareholders, versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, pay off debt or add to cash reserves. This latter portion is known as retained earnings.

Dividend Yield

A financial ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. Dividend yield is represented as a percentage and can be calculated by dividing the dollar value of dividends paid in a given year per share of stock held by the dollar value of one share of stock.

Earnings before Interest and Taxes

EBIT measures the profit a company generates from its operations, making it synonymous with "operating profit." By ignoring tax and interest expenses, it focuses solely on a company's ability to generate earnings from operations, ignoring variables such as the tax burden and capital structure. This focus makes EBIT an especially useful metric for certain applications.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is one indicator of a company's financial performance and is used as a proxy for the earning potential of a business, although doing so has its drawbacks.

Enterprise Value

Enterprise Value, or EV for short, is a measure of a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. The market capitalization of a company is simply its share price multiplied by the number of shares a company has outstanding.

Enterprise Value to EBIT

EV/EBIT is often used by analysts to quickly look at a company's valuation multiples. All things being equal, the lower this ratio is, the better.

Enterprise Value to EBITDA

This popular metric is widely used as a valuation tool, allowing investors to compare the value of a company, debt included, to the companys cash earnings less noncash expenses. It is ideal for analysts and potential investors looking to compare companies within the same industry. Typically, EV/EBITDA values below 10 are seen as healthy, but comparison of relative values among firms operating in the same industry is a good way for investors to determine companies with the healthiest EV/EBITDA within a specific sector.

Enterprise Value to Operating Cash Flow

Enterprise value to Operating cash flow is the ratio of the entire economic value of a company to the cash it produces. This metric calculates the number of years it would take to buy the entire business if it was able to use all the company's operating cash flow to buy all the outstanding stock and pay off all the outstanding debt. In other words, how long does it take the company to pay for itself?

Enterprise Value to Revenue

Quarter-over-quarter earnings-per-share growth, comparing diluted EPS in the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Financial Leverage

Financial leverage can be defined as the degree to which a company uses fixed-income securities, such as debt and preferred equity. With a high degree of financial leverage come high interest payments. As a result, the bottom-line earnings per share is negatively affected by interest payments. As interest payments increase as a result of increased financial leverage, EPS is driven lower.

Fixed Asset Turnover

Fixed-asset turnover is used by analysts to measure operating performance. It is a ratio of net sales to fixed assets. This ratio specifically measures how able a company is to generate net sales from fixed-asset investments, namely property, plant and equipment (PP&E). In general, a higher fixed-asset turnover indicates that a company has more effectively utilized investment in fixed assets to generate revenue.

Free Cash Flow Growth

Annualized rate of free cash flow to firm (FCFF) growth over the trailing one-year period.

Free Cash Flow Q/Q Growth

Quarter-over-quarter rate of free cash flow to firm (FCFF) growth, comparing the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Free Cash Flow to Firm

Free cash flow for the firm (FCFF) is a measure of financial performance that expresses the net amount of cash that is generated for a firm after expenses, taxes and changes in net working capital and investments are deducted. FCFF is essentially a measurement of a company's profitability after all expenses and reinvestments. It's one of the many benchmarks used to compare and analyze financial health.

Gross Margin

The gross margin represents the percent of total sales revenue that the company retains after incurring the direct costs associated with producing the goods and services it sells. The higher the percentage, the more the company retains on each dollar of sales, to service its other costs and debt obligations.

Inventory Turnover

Inventory turnover is a ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period of time. The days in the period can then be divided by the inventory turnover formula to calculate the days it takes to sell the inventory on hand. It is calculated as sales divided by average inventory.

Invested Capital

Invested capital is the total amount of money raised by a company by issuing securities to shareholders and bondholders, and invested capital is calculated by adding the total debt and capital lease obligations to the amount of equity issued to investors.

Invested Capital Growth

Invested Capital growth is the increase in value of an asset or investment over time. Capital growth is measured on the basis of the current value of the asset or investment, in relation to the amount originally invested in it. Capital growth is one of the most fundamental investment objectives for investors. It generally connotes a higher appetite for risk as opposed to an income objective, which may denote lower risk tolerance.

Invested Capital Q/Q Growth

Quarter-over-quarter rate of invested capital growth, comparing the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Invested Capital Turnover

Invested capital is the total amount of money raised by a company by issuing securities to shareholders and bondholders, and invested capital is calculated by adding the total debt and capital lease obligations to the amount of equity issued to investors. Invested capital is not a line item in company's financial statement because debt, capital leases and stockholders equity are each listed separately in the balance sheet.

Leverage Ratio

Companies rely on a mixture of owners' equity and debt to finance their operations. A leverage ratio is any one of several financial measurements that look at how much capital comes in the form of debt (loans), or assesses the ability of a company to meet financial obligations.

Long-Term Debt to EBITDA

A high ratio of Long-Term debt to EBITDA reveals a company thats deep in debt. It will have a lower credit rating and be forced to offer higher yields on bonds. Generally, a ratio of 4 or higher is considered too high, though the benchmarks of specific industries should be weighed, as well. Most companies have a ratio higher than 1 (equal amounts debt and EBITDA). Some have higher EBITDA than debt, resulting in a ratio thats less than 1. The Long-Term debt to EBITDA ratio does not include the risks of excess cash or capital expenditures on a companys finances, so it should be used with caution when evaluating a company.

Long-Term Debt to Equity

The ratio is calculated by taking the company's long-term debt and dividing it by the book value of common equity. The greater a company's leverage, the higher the ratio. Generally, companies with higher ratios are thought to be more risky.

Long-Term Debt to Total Capital

The long-term debt to capitalization ratio is a ratio showing the financial leverage of a firm. A variation of the traditional debt-to-equity ratio, this value computes the proportion of a company's long-term debt compared to its available capital. By using this ratio, investors can identify the amount of leverage utilized by a specific company and compare it to others to help analyze the company's risk exposure as generally, companies that finance a greater portion of their capital via debt are considered riskier than those with lower leverage ratios.

Market Capitalization

Market capitalization refers the total dollar market value of a company's outstanding shares. The investment community uses this figure to determine a company's size, as opposed to using sales or total asset figures.

Net Debt

Net debt shows a business's overall financial situation by subtracting the total value of a company's liabilities and debts from the total value of its cash, cash equivalents and other liquid assets, a process called netting. All the information necessary to determine a company's net debt can be found on its balance sheet.

Net Debt to EBITDA

The net debt to earnings before interest depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio is a measurement of leverage. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is a debt ratio that shows how many years it would take for a company to pay back its debt if net debt and EBITDA are held constant. If a company has more cash than debt, the ratio can be negative.

Net Income Growth

This figure represents the annualized rate of net-income growth over the trailing one-year period for the stocks held by a fund.Net-income growth gives a good picture of the rate at which companies have grown their profits. All things being equal, stocks with higher net-income growth rates are generally more desirable than those with slower net-income growth rates.

Net Income Q/Q Growth

Quarter-over-quarter rate of net income growth, comparing the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Net Non-Operating Expense

A non-operating expense is an expense incurred by a business that's unrelated to its core operations. The most common types of non-operating expenses relate to depreciation, amortization, interest charges or other costs of borrowing.

Net Non-Operating Expense Percent

A non-operating expense is an expense incurred by a business that's unrelated to its core operations. The most common types of non-operating expenses relate to depreciation, amortization, interest charges or other costs of borrowing. Accountants sometimes remove non-operating expenses or non-operating revenues in order to examine the performance of the business, ignoring effects of financing or other irrelevant issues.

Net Non-Operating Obligations

A non-operating expense is an expense incurred by a business that's unrelated to its core operations. The most common types of non-operating expenses relate to depreciation, amortization, interest charges or other costs of borrowing.

Net Operating Profit After Tax

Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) is a company's potential cash earnings if its capitalization were unleveraged that is, if it had no debt. NOPAT is a more accurate look at operating efficiency for leveraged companies, and it does not include the tax savings many companies get because of existing debt.

Net Working Capital

Working capital, also known as net working capital, is the difference between a company’s current assets, like cash, accounts receivable (customers’ unpaid bills) and inventories of raw materials and finished goods, and its current liabilities, like accounts payable.

NOPAT Growth

Annualized rate of Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) growth over the trailing one-year period.

NOPAT Margin

This profitability ratio shows a companies ability to generate after-tax operating profit for every dollar of sales made.

NOPAT Q/Q Growth

Quarter-over-quarter rate of Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) growth, comparing the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Normalized NOPAT Margin

Normalized Net Operating Profit after Tax Margin are adjusted to remove the effects of seasonality, revenue and expenses that are unusual or one-time influences.

Operating Cash Flow Growth

Annualized rate of operating cash flow growth over the trailing one-year period.

Operating Cash Flow Q/Q Growth

Quarter-over-quarter rate of operating cash flow growth, comparing the most recent quarter to the prior quarter.

Operating Cash Flow to CapEx

Operating Cash flow to capital expenditures is a ratio that measures a company's ability to acquire long-term assets using free cash flow. The Operating cash flow to capital expenditures ratio will often fluctuate as businesses go through cycles of large and small capital expenditures. A higher ratio is indicative of a company with sufficient capital to fund operations.

Operating Expenses to Revenue

Operating Expenses to Revenue is a measure of what it costs to operate a piece of property compared to the income that the property brings in. The measure is very common in real estate analysis, whereby analysts are measuring the costs to operate a piece of property versus the income it generates.An investor should look for red flags such as higher maintenance expenses, operating income or utilities that may deter him from purchasing a specific property.

Operating Margin

Operating margin is a margin ratio used to measure a company's pricing strategy and operating efficiency. Operating margin is a measurement of what proportion of a company's revenue is left over after paying for variable costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc.

Pre Tax Income Margin

Pretax profit margin is a company's earnings before tax as a percentage of total sales or revenues. The higher the pretax profit margin, the more profitable the company. The trend of the pretax profit margin is as important as the figure itself, since it provides an indication of which way the company's profitability is headed.

Price to Book Value

The price-to-book ratio (P/B Ratio) is a ratio used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. A lower P/B ratio could mean that the stock is undervalued. However, it could also mean that something is fundamentally wrong with the company. As with most ratios, be aware that this varies by industry. This ratio also gives some idea of whether you're paying too much for what would be left if the company went bankrupt immediately.

Price to Earnings

The price-earnings ratio (P/E Ratio) is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings. The price-earnings ratio indicates the dollar amount an investor can expect to invest in a company in order to receive one dollar of that companys earnings. This is why the P/E is sometimes referred to as the multiple because it shows how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of earnings.

Price to Revenue

A valuation ratio that compares a companys stock price to its revenues. The price-to-revenue ratio is an indicator of the value placed on each dollar of a companys revenues. It can be calculated either by dividing the companys market capitalization by its total sales over a 12-month period, or on a per-share basis by dividing the stock price by sales per share for a 12-month period. Like all ratios, the price-to-sales ratio is most relevant when used to compare companies in the same sector. A low ratio may indicate possible undervaluation, while a ratio that is significantly above the average may suggest overvaluation.

Price to Tangible Book Value

The price to tangible book value (PTBV) is a valuation ratio expressing the price of a security compared to its hard, or tangible, book value as reported in the company's balance sheet. A stock's tangible book value per share represents the amount of money an investor would receive for each share if a company were to cease operations and liquidate all of its assets at the value recorded on the company's accounting books.

Profit (Net Income) Margin

Profit margin is part of a category of profitability ratios and it measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings.

Quick Ratio

The quick ratio is an indicator of a companys short-term liquidity. The quick ratio measures a companys ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. The quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio because it excludes inventories from current assets. The ratio derives its name presumably from the fact that assets such as cash and marketable securities are quick sources of cash.

R&D to Revenue

The Research & Development (R&D) Expense to Revenue ratio measures the percentage of sales that is allocated to R&D expenditures. It is not as effective when looking at companies in different industries because different industries place different values on R&D. Technology companies and pharmaceutical companies are more likely to have high R&D ratios.

Return on Assets

Return on assets (ROA) is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. ROA tells you what earnings were generated from invested capital (assets). ROA for public companies can vary substantially and will be highly dependent on the industry. This is why when using ROA as a comparative measure, it is best to compare it against a company's previous ROA numbers or the ROA of a similar company.

Return on Common Equity

Return on common equity is a measure of how well a company uses its investment dollars to generate profits. It tells common stock investors how effectively their capital is being reinvested. A company with high return on equity (ROE) is more successful in generating cash internally. Investors are always looking for companies with high and growing returns on common equity. However, not all high ROE companies make good investments. The better benchmark is to compare a companys return on common equity with its industry average. The higher the ratio, the better the company.

Return on Equity

Return on equity (ROE) is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same industry.

Return on Equity (Simple)

Return on equity (ROE_SIMPLE) is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of total equity. Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. The ROE is useful for comparing the profitability of a company to that of other firms in the same industry.

Return on Invested Capital

ROIC is used to assess a company's efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments. Return on invested capital gives a sense of how well a company is using its money to generate returns. Comparing a company's return on capital (ROIC) with its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) reveals whether invested capital is being used effectively.

Revenue Growth

Revenue growth illustrates sales increases/decreases over time. It is used to measure how fast a business is expanding. More valuable than a snapshot of revenue, revenue growth helps investors identify trends in order to gauge revenue growth over time.

Revenue Q/Q Growth

Quarterly revenue growth is an increase of a company's sales when compared to a previous quarter's revenue performance. The current quarter's sales figure can be compared on a year-over-year basis or sequentially. This helps to give analysts, investors and participants an idea of how much a company's sales are increasing over time.

Tangible Book Value per Share

A tangible book value per share is a method of valuing a company on a per-share basis by measuring its equity after removing any intangible assets. It focuses solely on the value of an organizations tangible assets. Once the value of the tangible assets is determined, that amount is divided by the number of shares currently outstanding.

Total Capital

Total capital usually refers to the sum of long-term debt and total shareholder equity; both of these items can be found on the company's balance sheet. This is one of the calculations that's traditionally used when determining a company's return on capital.

Total Debt

Total debt shows a business's overall financial situation by subtracting the total value of a company's liabilities and debts from the total value of its cash, cash equivalents and other liquid assets. All the information necessary to determine a company's net debt can be found on its balance sheet.

Total Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization (D&A) are noncash expenses used in accrual accounting. Depreciation is a means of allocating the cost of a material asset over its useful life. Amortization is the deduction of capital expenses over a specified time period, typically the life of an asset.

Total Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of loans and financial obligations lasting over one year. Long-term debt for a company would include any financing or leasing obligations that are to come due in a greater than 12-month period. Long-term debt also applies to governments: nations can also have long-term debt.

Technical Filters

Technical filters let you screen stocks using calculated price and volume studies β€” from simple moving averages to complex momentum oscillators. Each technical filter runs a study on the stock's price history and lets you set a condition on the result. Studies can also be compared against each other (e.g. SMA 50 > SMA 200) and modified with tools like linear regression slope or correlation.

Adding a Technical Filter

To add a technical filter click Add Filter and choose a study from the technical category. Each filter card shows:

  • Study name β€” click to switch to a different study.

  • Input selector β€” the price series or data source the study runs on (e.g. Close, Volume). See the Study Inputs Reference below for all options.

  • Parameters β€” numeric settings such as period length, standard deviation multiplier, or MA type, depending on the study.

  • Condition selector β€” greater than, less than, equal to, not equal to, crosses above, crosses below, or between a range.

  • Value input β€” the threshold to filter against, or a second study to compare against.

  • Distribution slider β€” log-scale histogram of the current universe across the study's output range.

Comparing Studies

Instead of comparing a study output to a fixed number, you can compare it to another study's output. Common examples:

  • SMA(50) > SMA(200) β€” golden cross / death cross detection

  • EMA(12) > EMA(26) β€” short-term trend above long-term trend

  • RSI(14) < ATR(14) β€” momentum below volatility

To enable this, click the Value button on the filter card and select Study. A second study picker appears with its own input and parameter controls.

Modifiers

Modifiers wrap a study's output with an additional calculation before the condition is evaluated. Two modifiers are available:

  • Linear Regression Slope β€” measures the rate of change of a study's output over a rolling window. Use this to find stocks where an indicator is rising or falling at a specific rate. For example: slope of RSI(14) > 0 to find stocks where momentum is accelerating upward.

  • Correlation β€” measures how strongly two study outputs move together over a rolling window, returning a value between βˆ’1 (inverse) and +1 (perfectly aligned). For example: correlate a stock's price with its volume to identify institutional accumulation patterns.

Filter UI Behaviors

Different filter types render different UI controls:

  • Numeric filters β€” Support >, <, =, β‰ , range (between), and a log-scale distribution slider for intuitive value selection.

  • Price comparison filters β€” Filters that support price comparison (52 Week High, 52 Week Low) can compare the value against the stock's current price, with an optional tolerance percentage.

  • Boolean filters β€” Render as a toggle switch (e.g. OTC).

  • String / multi-select filters β€” Render as a searchable multi-select dropdown populated from the database (e.g. Industry, Sector).
