What You’ll Learn
How to use the Stock Screener panel, how to pick a universe and sort it, and how to send a symbol straight from the screener into a chart so you can go from “what’s moving” to “let me look at it” in one click.What The Stock Screener Is
The Stock Screener is a TradingView-style scanning panel. Instead of charting one symbol, it shows a whole list at once and ranks it, so you can see where the day’s activity is concentrated before you commit a chart to any single name. You point it at a universe — a preset basket of symbols — and it keeps that list live and sortable through the session. It lives as a panel type in the Chart Grid, so you can sit it next to a Symbol Chart and use the two together.Choosing A Universe
Pick a preset from the toolbar dropdown at the top of the panel. The presets cover the baskets most traders scan during the day:
Start with a narrow universe (Mag-7 or Sector ETFs) when you want a fast read on
leadership, and a broad one (S&P 500, Russell 1000) when you’re hunting for the
day’s outliers.
Reading The Table
Each row is one symbol. The columns are sortable and configurable, and typically include:
Relative volume is the column that turns a screener from a price list into a
discovery tool. A name can be up a normal amount on normal volume (background
noise) or up the same amount on three times its usual volume (something is
happening). Sort by relative volume to surface the second kind.
How To Use It Well
1
Pick the universe that matches your question
Use a tight basket (Mag-7, Sector ETFs) for a leadership read, a broad one
(S&P 500, Russell 1000) to hunt outliers.
2
Sort to bring the movers to the top
Click a column header to sort. Change % answers “what’s running”; relative
volume answers “what’s running on unusual participation.”
3
Send a symbol straight to a chart
Click a row to load that ticker into an adjacent chart panel — the fastest way
to go from the list to a real chart without retyping the symbol.
4
Cross-check before you act on it
Confirm the standout name on a Symbol Chart, and
check Market Breadth to see whether it’s a
one-name story or part of a broader move.
How It Fits With The Rest Of Hermes
The screener is the “where do I look?” step that comes before the chart work. Pair it with:- a Symbol Chart in the next panel, so a click on a row swaps that chart to the selected ticker
- Market Breadth to tell whether a mover is leading the whole sector or going it alone
- Market Overview for the broad tape regime the move is happening inside
The screener ranks and surfaces symbols — it does not interpret them. A name at
the top of the list is the most active or unusual in the universe, not
automatically the best opportunity. Treat it as a starting point for a chart, not
a conclusion.
