Community in ScreenerHub is the sharing layer that lets you publish a saved screener or watchlist to your public trader profile. Use it to share a working strategy with other investors, or to discover and copy approaches that other users have made public.
What Community is for
Community answers questions that your own research cannot:
- Is there a ready-made dividend growth screen I can study before writing my own?
- How does another investor structure a quality momentum watchlist?
- Can I share the value screen I built with someone who uses ScreenerHub?
Sharing is opt-in and per-item. Making one screener public does not expose anything else on your account.
How to use it
Make a screener or watchlist public
Open a saved screener or watchlist and switch its visibility from Private to Public in the settings panel. The item immediately appears on your trader profile page at /traders/[username].
Public items stay live as long as you keep the visibility setting on. If you switch back to private, the item disappears from your profile and from any discovery surfaces.
Find screeners from other users
The trader profile page at /traders/[username] lists everything a user has made public: screeners, watchlists, and the date each was last updated. Browse directly if you know the username, or follow links from shared URLs.
There is no central community directory today. Shared links are the primary way screeners spread between users.
Fork a public screener into Studio
Open any public screener and choose Fork to my account. This copies the full criteria set into a new draft screener in Studio under your own account. The fork is independent — changes you make do not affect the original, and changes the original author makes do not affect your copy.
After forking, review the criteria before running the screen. Field availability and threshold appropriateness can differ depending on your plan and the markets you follow.
Common patterns
Study before forking
Browse a public screener's criteria list first. A good screener should have a clear logic — universe constraints followed by quality filters followed by the specific factor the strategy is targeting. If the criteria look arbitrary, the screen is probably not worth forking.
Fork and adapt
A fork is a starting point, not a finished product. After copying a screener, adjust thresholds that do not match your own risk tolerance or market focus. For example, a value screen calibrated for US large-caps may need different cut-offs when applied to European mid-caps.
Share a screener to get feedback
Publishing a screen that you are still refining is a reasonable way to share a work-in-progress. Label it clearly in the description so forks know what they are getting.
Build a public watchlist as a reference list
A public watchlist can serve as a curated reference — "quality businesses I track closely" or "European dividend growers". Other users can view it and, if useful, fork it as their own starting list.
What it is not
Community is not a social feed. There are no likes, comments, or notifications. Sharing a screener does not broadcast it to anyone automatically. Distribution is entirely through direct links and trader profile pages.
Community is not a signal service. A public screener shows the criteria, not a buy or sell recommendation. The screening result changes every day as market data updates. Do your own analysis before acting on any forked screen.
Monitoring sets, notes, and alert configurations are never shared. Only the criteria definition of a screener and the symbol list of a watchlist are public. Your monitoring history, private notes, and account settings remain private regardless of visibility settings.
Attribution is display-only. When you fork a screener, the original author's username is shown as the source. This is informational. ScreenerHub does not enforce licensing terms on forked screeners — you own your fork completely.
Moderation
ScreenerHub may remove public screeners or watchlists that contain inappropriate content in names or descriptions, that are used to mislead other users, or that repeatedly produce low-quality results that waste community resources. Accounts with a pattern of abusive sharing may have public access revoked.
