TradingView Screener — A Simple Guide and How to Use It

0

TradingView’s Screener is a handy tool that helps traders and investors find assets (stocks, crypto, forex, ETFs, bonds) that meet the rules they choose. Instead of opening hundreds of charts one by one, you tell the screener what to look for — for example, stocks with rising volume and a strong moving average — and it returns a short list that matches. This guide explains what the screener can do, how to use it step by step, practical tips, and common use-cases.

What is TradingView Screener?

A screener is a scanning tool that sorts many instruments by filters you set. TradingView offers several screeners: Stock Screener, Crypto Screener, Forex Screener, ETF Screener, CEX/DEX crypto pairs, and more. Each screener is tailored to its asset type but works similarly: choose filters, pick a timeframe, and scan. This makes it easy to find candidates for day trading, swing trading, or longer-term investing. (TradingView)

Why use a screener? (Short and practical)

  • Save time: scan thousands of symbols in seconds. (TradingView)

  • Stay organized: store filter sets (saved searches) and reuse them. (TradingView)

  • Test ideas quickly: want stocks breaking out or cryptos with big spikes? A screener gives results fast. (TradingView)

Main features — what you can do

  1. Choose asset universe: global markets, exchanges, or specific watchlists. (TradingView)

  2. 400+ filter fields: price, volume, market cap, indicators (RSI, MACD), fundamentals (P/E, dividend yield) and many more. (TradingView)

  3. Multiple timeframes: scan on 1 minute, 5 minutes, daily, weekly — useful for both intraday and long-term strategies. (TradingView)

  4. Heatmaps & views: table view, heatmap, and the ability to sort columns to find top gainers or most volatile assets. (TradingView)

  5. Pine Screener: scan using custom Pine Script indicators created by users — this lets you filter by your own signals. (TradingView)

How to open the screener (quick steps)

  1. Open TradingView homepage.

  2. Hover or click Products → Screeners and select the screener you need (Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.). (TradingView)

  3. Pick an exchange or “All” to search globally.

  4. Add filters and press scan.

Using filters — the basics

  • Click Add filter or use the shortcut (Shift+F) to open the filter dialog. Choose a field (e.g., RSI, Volume, Price change) and set the range. (TradingView)

  • Combine multiple filters (e.g., price above 50-day MA AND RSI < 30) to make precise searches. (TradingView)

  • Save filter sets for later so you can re-run the same search quickly.

Example scans (real ideas you can try)

  1. Momentum swing candidates (stocks): Market cap > $300M, price > 50-day MA, volume > 200k, 3%+ daily change. Good to spot trending stocks. (TradingView)

  2. Oversold bounce (crypto): Select exchange, RSI < 30 on 4H, volume spike > 2x average — finds coins that might bounce. (TradingView)

  3. Dividend scouts (long-term): Dividend yield > 3%, P/E < 20, positive EPS growth — for income-focused investors. (TradingView)

Pine Screener — use your own indicators

If you code (or use community scripts), Pine Screener lets you scan by Pine Script-based conditions. This is powerful because you can screen by exactly the buy/sell logic you use on charts. Steps: open Pine Screener, select your watchlist and indicator, set criteria, and scan. (TradingView)

Tips to use screeners smartly (so you don’t get overwhelmed)

  • Start wide, then narrow: begin with a few broad filters (e.g., volume and market cap) then add technical criteria. (TradingView)

  • Don’t rely only on screener output: treat results as candidates, then open charts to check price action and risk. (TradingView)

  • Use multiple timeframes: a good intraday candidate may look weak on the daily chart. Cross-check before trading. (TradingView)

  • Save and label filter sets: label as “breakout watch”, “swing long”, or “dividend filter” for quick reuse. (TradingView)

Common use-cases by trader type

  • Day traders: scan for high-volume movers and gap-ups on short timeframes. (TradingView)

  • Swing traders: look for trend continuation signals or reliable pullbacks to moving averages. (TradingView)

  • Long-term investors: screen by fundamentals and then overlay technical filters to find entry points. (TradingView)

  • Crypto traders: use CEX or DEX screeners to find pairs with sudden volume or on-chain liquidity patterns. (TradingView)

Limits and things to watch out for

  • False positives: a screener can find symbols that match numeric rules but are not tradeable (low liquidity, halted stocks). Always check volume and spreads. (TradingView)

  • Overfitting filters: too many strict filters may return zero results. Balance strictness vs. usefulness. (TradingView)

  • Data differences: exchanges and data providers differ — prices or volume might vary slightly across platforms. Cross-verify before placing real trades. (TradingView)

Quick workflow example (step-by-step)

  1. Open Stock Screener and choose “All Exchanges”. (TradingView)

  2. Add filters: Market Cap > $500M, Price > $5, Volume (avg) > 100k. (TradingView)

  3. Add technical filters: Price > 50-day MA, RSI 14 between 40–70.

  4. Scan and sort by % change or volume.

  5. Add the good candidates to a watchlist and open each chart for confirmation.

Final thoughts — is it for you?

TradingView Screener is great for anyone who wants to discover trading ideas fast — from hobby investors to active traders. It combines a large universe of assets, many filter options, and the convenience of saved scans and Pine integration. But remember: a screener is a starting point, not a guarantee. Always verify the result on the chart and respect risk management.
