How do I build a custom screen?

1. To create a new screen click on the New Screen tab on the top of the screener.

2. On the left side of the screener, there are a number of category headings. Select a category and the data items on the right will change based on the category.

For instance, if you choose "Zacks Rank and Recommendations" as a category, you will see the right side of the page change to show all items that fall under "Zacks Rank and Recommendations".

3. Now let's say that the first item you would like to screen for is stocks that have a current ETF Rank of a #1. First, choose "Top Criteria" under the 'Select a Category' section. You will see 'ETF Rank' in the left 'Select Items' tab. To the right of ETF Rank is a dropdown menu for operator selection. Select "=" operator. To the right of operator dropdown is a dropdown with acceptable values for ETF Rank. Select "1" from the dropdown menu. Then click 'Add'. See Below:

4. This will produce the number of stocks that have a Zacks Rank of #1 which can be found under the "My Criteria". See below:

My Criteria Section

5. You can refine your search and narrow the number of matches by adding new criteria.
