Rules in. Shortlist out.
A screener is a saved set of rules — value, quality, momentum, any of it — that picks instruments for you. See exactly what matches today, and what would have matched in any month since 2000.
The count is the market answering you. Every rule recomputes against live market data — change one and the number moves. It is never a figure we picked.
Proof is one tab away. The Backtest tab re-picks this shortlist every month since 2000 — see whether the rules actually beat the market.
Screeners feed strategies. Attach one and the pool re-screens itself at every rebalance.
The funnel
Add a rule. Watch the market narrow.
Every rule cuts the pool, and the match count answers instantly — the same engine that runs your backtests, not an estimate.

The proof
Would your rules have beaten the market?
Every screener carries its own backtest — the shortlist re-picked every month since 2000, measured against the very pool it filtered.

One click, every horizon
The backtest re-picks your shortlist every month since 2000 and holds it for every fixed horizon from 1 to 24 months — the edge at each one, not one lucky window.
An honest benchmark
Picks are measured against the same pool before filters — beating “all instruments” is the only edge that counts, and sometimes the answer is no.
Which filters earn their place
Per-filter impact shows what each rule adds — and what removing it would cost. Dead weight has nowhere to hide.
