Importing a Screener

Introduction

This section describes how to use the Screener Management window to import a screener.

The first option enables you to a import a screener that was previously exported from Stock Rover. If you have many screeners or many iterations of a screener, you can save the screeners offline for later import and use.

The second option is importing screeners from the Investors’ Library. The Investors’ Library is a repository for investment research resources, including an extensive collection of screeners that cover many different investment strategies.

Importing a Screener From a File

To import a screener that was previously exported from Stock Rover, launch the Screener Management window by selecting Screeners in the Start Menu on the left-hand side. Once in Screener Management, right-clicking on Screeners and selecting ‘Import Screener’ opens the Import Screener window or select Import Screener under the Screener Actions.

Clicking ‘Import’ loads and runs the screener in the Screener Management window.

If you change the imported screener’s criteria and later want to revert to the original, reimporting the screener overwrites your changes with the original screener criteria.
