Screener Filters: Composable Queries Over the Full Universe

Why Composable Filters Beat Fixed Forms

Most stock screeners are form-based: pick a P/E range, a market-cap range, a sector, hit go. That works for the most common queries but falls apart the moment you want something nuanced — "high relative strength names with accelerating revenue growth, not crowded with retail, in a trending regime." A composable filter surface lets you add as many predicates as you want, of any type, with AND / OR logic — and saves the composition so you can re-run it daily.

What the Screener Filters Card Shows

The Screener Filters card exposes filters across five families: fundamentals (P/E, EV/Revenue, PEG, FCF yield, margins, growth rates), technicals (RSI, ADX, distance from 52w high / low, relative strength vs SPY, moving-average positioning), sentiment (news sentiment percentile, insider MSPR, options IV rank, WSB mentions), regime (current regime filter, regime-confidence threshold), and meta (sector, market cap, exchange, ADV). Filters stack with explicit AND / OR / NOT logic. Saved searches persist per user and can be scheduled to run daily with results emailed. A preset library covers common setups like "quality-at-a-reasonable-price" and "high-relative-strength breakouts."

Writing Good Screens

Three principles improve filter quality. First, start from the thesis, not the filters — "I want to find names with accelerating top-line growth but not overvalued" → PEG < 1.5 AND revenue-growth-ttm > last-12mo-average; working backwards produces focused queries instead of kitchen-sink lists. Second, use at most 5-7 filters — more than that over-specifies; the universe of 8000+ names shrinks to zero or near-zero and you've optimized on noise. Third, sanity-check against regime — in a high-vol correction regime, add a regime filter or a relative-strength-top-quartile filter to avoid getting a list of names that look cheap because the market is punishing them.
