Studio

Studio is the screening surface in ScreenerHub — build, run, and save criteria screens against the full stock universe.

Studio in ScreenerHub is the screening surface where you turn a list of criteria into a ranked result set. Use it to build, run, and refine screens interactively — and save any working definition as a named screener you can rerun at any time.

What Studio is for

Studio answers three questions in one place:

  • Which stocks in the market match this set of rules right now?
  • How does changing one filter affect the result count?
  • How do I save a working screen and share it with someone else?

It is the primary research tool in ScreenerHub. Every other surface — Browser, Watchlist, Monitoring Lab — either feeds into Studio or starts from a result that Studio produced.

How to use it

The criteria editor

The left-hand panel is where you build the filter logic. Each criterion has three parts: the field you are filtering on, the operator (greater than, less than, between, equals), and the threshold value.

Add criteria one at a time. The result count in the header updates immediately as you add or change a rule, so you can see the effect before committing to it.

To remove a criterion, click the remove icon next to the row. To reorder, drag the handle on the left side of each row.

The result table

The right-hand panel shows the matching stocks. Rows are companies. Columns are the fields you have chosen to display.

Click any column header to sort. The sort order is part of the URL, so sharing the link preserves both the criteria and the current sort.

Click any row to open the company profile page for that stock.

Column groups

Studio groups available columns by category: valuation, profitability, growth, momentum, quality, and dividends. Open a column group to toggle individual columns on or off.

Active filter columns are always visible and cannot be hidden — they stay locked to keep the result interpretable. All other columns are optional.

Reorder columns by dragging them in the column panel or directly in the table header.

Saving versus running ad-hoc

Studio always shows live results. You do not have to save a screen to see results.

Save a screen when you want to:

  • rerun the same criteria on a future date
  • monitor how the result set changes over time with Monitoring Lab
  • share a stable link that others can open and reuse

To save, use the Save button in the top bar and give the screen a name. Saved screeners appear in your screener list and can be opened directly from there.

You can also edit a saved screener in Studio and save changes under the same name or as a copy.

URL state and sharing

Every state in Studio — criteria, columns, sort order, pagination — is encoded in the URL. Copy the URL from the browser address bar to share the exact current view with someone else.

Shared links do not require the recipient to be signed in to view results. Saving a screen requires an account.

Presets and templates

Presets are pre-built column configurations. Use them to quickly switch between a value-focused column layout and a momentum-focused one without rebuilding from scratch. Select a preset from the column panel.

Templates are pre-built screeners — complete criteria definitions that you can open as a starting point. Open a template from the template picker in the top bar, review the criteria, and adjust to match your strategy.

Templates give you a working starting point. Presets give you a relevant column view. They are independent — you can apply any preset to any template result.

Common patterns

Start from a template, then narrow. Open a value template, check that the result count is large enough to work with, then add one or two sector or quality constraints until the list is focused.

Use ad-hoc runs for exploration, save for research. When you are curious about a metric, build the criteria and check the result count without saving. When the definition is worth tracking, save it.

Sort by the factor that matters most. If you are running a dividend screen, sort by Dividend Yield descending so the strongest candidates rise to the top immediately.

Share URLs instead of screenshots. A shared Studio URL lets the recipient adjust columns and re-sort, which is more useful than a static image.

What Studio is not

Studio is not a portfolio tracker. It shows which stocks match a set of rules at the current moment — not what you own or your return history.

Studio is not the same as the Browser. Browser is a discovery surface for exploring the market by sector and region without writing criteria. Studio is for building precise filter definitions.

Studio is not a back-testing tool. It runs against current data and does not simulate historical results.
