Stock Screeners
#1
Stock Screeners
Stock screeners provide a different approach to handling your portfolio. The idea is that you want to evaluate stocks based on certain criteria (ranking) and only hold X stocks in your portfolio based on their rank. To create a stock screener, simply select the File Screener, the Google Drive Screener or the Finviz Screener.

Note that the stock screener only places Market, Market on Close or Market on Open orders, so be aware of the potential issues with such orders. It is possible to prevent some of the issues with the Protect Market Orders field, which is explained in the Strategies Guide.

Number of Stocks
The Number of Stocks field allows you to select how many positions you would like to hold in your portfolio. APM will always try to maintain this number of stocks by taking in consideration the current positions, the sell orders and then filling the open spots. However, if the Number of Stocks is decreased, then APM will not automatically sell stocks at random, it will instead wait for them fall out of the screener (as per the selection mode below).

Selection Mode
The Selection Mode allows you to specify how you would like to process the screener.

Keep Only First
  • This mode will only hold only the first X stocks in the screener and sell the rest (X is number of stocks you specified in the Number of Stocks field) 
Prioritize First
  • This mode will prioritize the top stocks in the screener. It will only sell stocks if they fall completely out of the screener, rather than out of the top X stocks like the Keep Only First mode.
Dual Screener
  • This mode allows users to provide a different set of criteria for entering and exiting positions (e.g. enter on an oversold condition and exit on overbought)  
  • A stock will only be sold if the screener explicitly states it
Creating a Screener File

Similar to regular signal files, a screener file must end have one of the supported extensions (.sig, .sig.txt, .sig.csv) and be placed in the folder specified at the bottom right of the APM.
A screener signal in a .sig.txt file must have the following format:

[BUY/SELL] [Ticker]

An example screener file for the modes Keep Only First and Prioritize First would be:

BUY AAPL
BUY SPY
BUY IBM
BUY AA

An example screener file for the Dual Screener mode would be:

BUY APPL
BUY SPY
SELL IBM
SELL AA

Note that SELL actions will be ignored unless the Dual Screener mode is being used.

Web Screeners
Currently, users can create screeners using finviz and process the stocks in that screener with the same modes as the file screener.
Simply copy the URL for the screener you would like to use into the Buy URL field (and the Sell URL field for the Dual Screener).

Thanks for letting us know. It appears the screener you used is quite large -- you could try a smaller one until we sort out this issue.

I ran some tests, and if you use BUY url https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&ar=180 it should work fine for this particular screener. It's possible your internet connection cut out for a moment and APM was unable to pull the data from finviz.

Either way, I recommend picking a smaller screener and running it again. If you want to ensure your screener succeeds, even if your internet temporarily cuts out, you can schedule APM to run multiple times a day.

Users can create screeners using Finviz and mapquest process stocks in that screener with the same modes as the file screener.

In the official WhatsApp application there is a limitation on the number of files and size you can send, while WhatsApp Plus Download is there to take care of these limits. You get freedom to send as many images as you can regardless of the file size, the default video sending limit is increased up to 1GB. This is great if you need to send hundreds of pics at once instead sending them in a 25 pics chunk, it really creates confusion and you may re-send image without knowing that it is sent already.
