Unlike traditional screeners, Multisort blends user-specified factors and associated conditions into a single score to present a \u201cranked\u201d list of securities that best match the user\u2019s criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any strategies developed using the Market Screeners are done so by the user and are not recommendations by Interactive Brokers. By using the software, the user drives the investment strategy and the role of the software is to match the user with companies that match the chosen criteria.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the Screeners icon in the left navigation panel. Start by defining a stock universe along the top of the screener. Note that only a single stock universe may be selected at a time. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now click MultiSort to see the factor categories. Expand categories to detail up to 10 factors. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"594\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/screeners-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207750 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; aspect-ratio: 1000\/594;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose up to 10 screener factors. For each chosen factor the user has the option to specify whether a lower value or higher value is desired. For example, when selecting the Dividend Amount factor, the user might specify higher values are preferred.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once higher or lower values are specified, the Importance field is displayed. By default, all factors are considered \u201cImportant\u201d, but a factor may be assigned more or less importance using the dropdown list. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the FILTER icon in the factor box to display the histogram. Use the histogram to make a factor even more specific by defining a range. When using the sliders, the \u201cFrom\u201d and \u201cTo\u201d range values update along with the number of companies that fall into the defined range. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"595\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/screeners-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207749 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; aspect-ratio: 1000\/595;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As factors are added and values modified along with importance, the screener results update automatically in the center panel. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the overall asset rankings use a blended score that considers all selected factors, their high\/low value preferences, histogram ranges, and importance levels, each factor is also ranked individually. These individual rankings are easy to see via the Color Rank feature. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green illustrates higher rank and purple lower. It is easier to see at a glance how individual factors have contributed to the overall screener ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, adding high dividends criteria within a specified range may help with overall ranking, but the results may have an asset ranked in the top 10 with the dividend amount ranked as less preferable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to continue to make changes to the screener and see it update automatically. When finished, users may select any instruments they wish to add to a Watchlist. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming soon &#8211; the ability to save your Screeners.
