TradingView Screener: How to Filter, Sort, Save, and What's Free

The TradingView screener is a set of filters that turns thousands of symbols into a short table of the ones matching your conditions. There are six (Stock, ETF, Bond, Crypto Coins, CEX pairs and DEX pairs) plus a Pine Screener that scans a watchlist with a Pine script. Open one from Products → Screeners. The Stock, ETF, DEX and crypto screeners are on every plan, Basic included. We read TradingView's help and pricing page on 2026-10-17.

Which screeners does TradingView have?

Six that share one layout, plus the Pine Screener, which works differently. TradingView's walkthrough lists them: "Stock, ETF, Bond, Crypto Coins, CEX, or DEX Screener." Everything the help says about the Stock Screener applies to the other five, "with the exception of the Pine Screener".

The crypto split trips people up. Crypto Coins averages each coin's price across "all supported exchanges", so it suits market cap and supply questions. To screen what you can actually trade on one exchange, use CEX pairs, which filters by exchange and by spot, futures or perpetual (crypto screeners compared).

Is there a TradingView forex screener?

Not in TradingView's current list. The walkthrough names the six above, and the Screeners list in the footer of TradingView's help pages reads Stocks, ETFs, Bonds, Crypto coins, CEX pairs, DEX pairs and Pine, with no forex entry.

An older Forex Screener page still exists. We opened tradingview.com/forex-screener/ signed out on 2026-10-17 and it loaded in an older layout: 49 "Major, Minor Pairs" with a technical rating column. No help article we found covers it, so it may change or go without notice.

To scan currency pairs with your own rules, the documented route is the Pine Screener: put the pairs in a watchlist and scan it with an indicator. Its sign-in page says: "Works with stocks, crypto, forex". It needs Premium or Ultimate. Premium and Ultimate watchlists hold up to 1,000 symbols each.

How do I open the screener?

On a computer, use Products → Screeners in the top menu, or the right-hand toolbar on the chart. The steps from TradingView's Stock Screener help:

1. From the main page, open Products, hover over Screeners and pick one. Clicking Screeners itself opens the Stock Screener.
2. Or, on the chart (Supercharts), click Products → Screeners on the right-hand toolbar. TradingView says both routes "lead to the exact same tool".
3. To change screeners, click the screener's name in the top-left corner, the screener switch menu.

The TradingView Desktop app has the screener too: TradingView's September 11, 2026 post on chart view says its new chart-view moving averages work in "the standalone Screener, the right sidebar, mobile web, and desktop apps".

On a phone or tablet, the app has no screener, according to TradingView's help. Its article How do I find a mobile screener? says it "is not supported at the moment" on iOS or Android, and that TradingView plans to add it. The article isn't dated and we didn't test the app, so check its menus before you take that as final.

In a phone's browser, tradingview.com/screener/ does load: in a phone-sized browser we saw the table with an AI button and a Filters button above it. The AI Screener itself "is currently not supported on mobile devices" (AI Screener help).

How to use the TradingView screener: filter, sort, save

Add a filter, set its condition, sort a column, save the screen. The film above walks through it. The full steps on a computer, from TradingView's filters help and saving help:

1. Pick the market (Stock and ETF screeners). The screener opens on "your local region's market, sorted by market capitalization". Click the market, then More markets…; turn on Multi-select to screen several at once.
2. Add a filter. Click + on the filter panel or press Shift + F, then pick a filter or type its condition.
3. Set its condition. Click the new, still inactive filter and choose a preset, or use Manual setup where the filter allows it. "The filter will be added and applied instantly to all symbols."
4. Choose your columns. Pick a column set above the table, or click the button at the right end of the table's header (Shift + C) to add one.
5. Sort. Click a column header and choose the direction.
6. Save. Click Save next to the screen's name, or press Ctrl + S (Cmd + S on a Mac), and name the screen.

A saved screen stores its filters (active and inactive), its columns, the sort and the view mode. Autosave exists but "is off by default", and you switch it on for each screener type separately, in the screen menu. Undo and redo keep "up to 100 steps". A deleted screen "cannot be restored".

For a ready-made start, open the screen menu and pick Open screen… (or press the dot key). TradingView's "popular screens" there come with preset filters, a quick way to see how a screen is built.

Two settings catch people out. Filters don't share one timeframe: an inactive filter defaults to 1 day, and you change each filter's own interval (timeframe help). And Primary listing, in the market menu, drops secondary listings, so a company whose main listing is on another market falls out of the list (primary listing help).

The screener can also show results as a grid of charts or, in the Stock, ETF and Crypto Coins screeners, as a heatmap (view modes). And on paid plans, the AI Screener (Shift + A, Stock Screener only, in public beta) turns a sentence into filters; running it "replaces the currently applied filters, columns, column set, and sorting settings".

How to share or export a screen

Sharing and exporting both start from the screen menu, which opens when you click the screen's name. To share a saved screen, per the sharing help:

1. Open the screen.
2. Click the screen's name to open the screen menu.
3. Toggle Share screen.
4. Click Copy link and send it.

"Sharing is disabled by default", and each screen is shared on its own. Whoever opens the link sees your filters, columns and sort, and their edits stay temporary until they save or copy it. Three things can make a shared screen look empty: the viewer isn't signed in, their plan doesn't cover some columns, or the screen filters by a watchlist you haven't shared.

To export, open the same menu and click Export screen results, which downloads your filtered data "as a CSV file", says the walkthrough; the export help gives the same steps. The pricing page doesn't tick data export for Basic.

To move results into a watchlist, select the rows with Shift or Ctrl, right-click and choose Add Selected Symbols To Watchlist (watchlist help). Symbols you flag in the screener also land in the watchlist's flagged list.

TradingView screener: free vs paid

The screeners themselves are free; the plans differ in refresh, export, timeframes and the two premium screeners. From the screener rows of TradingView's pricing page, read 2026-10-17. Prices are per month, billed annually.

Every plan also gets chart view, watchlists as filters, "Multiple markets" and the "500+ fundamental and technical fields". Neither the pricing page nor the help gives a limit on how many screens you can save.

The Bond Screener row needs a word. The walkthrough lists the Bond Screener with the other five and says nothing about plans, but the pricing page ticks "Bond Screener" for Ultimate alone, with the note "Explore bond markets without limitations. See full results". Signed out, we saw a handful of bonds and then an "Upgrade to Ultimate" box. We didn't check what a signed-in Basic account sees.

Two more limits sit outside that table. The moving averages in chart view "require a paid plan", while volume is on all plans. And no plan includes real-time data from most exchanges: "Most of the stock and futures exchanges we support charge fees for their real-time data", and TradingView's plans "don't cover those fees" (market data help). The pricing page adds that to buy data "you first need to have one of our paid plans or to be a trial member". Crypto exchange data is real-time.

What is the Pine Screener?

A screener that runs one Pine indicator over a watchlist or an index, then filters by that script's plots or alert conditions. It's the one screener where your own logic decides what matches, and it needs Premium or Ultimate. Signed out, its page reads "Sign in to use Pine Screener", with a Beta label. The steps, from TradingView's Pine Screener help:

1. Open Products → Screeners → Pine.
2. Pick the source: click the source pill and choose from the Watchlists or Indices tab. One source at a time.
3. Add an indicator with Add indicator. The indicator needs at least one plot or an alertcondition(); strategies aren't supported.
4. Set a filter on one of its plots, or on one of its alert conditions.
5. Click Scan. Change the source, the script, its inputs, the timeframe or the filters, and you scan again.

The requirements, in the help's words where it matters:

• "You can use only one indicator per screen."
• "The indicator calculates data based on only the last 500 bars on the chart."
• Timeframes are limited to 1, 5, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. "Custom timeframes are not supported."
• At most forty request.*() calls in the script, and no indicator-on-indicator.
• "Indices are supported as a source up to a maximum of 4,000 symbols."

The help and TradingView's blog don't agree on two points. The September 1, 2026 post put index scans at "up to 3,500 symbols", against the help's 4,000. And the help's feature list still says you can use any indicator "saved in your favorites", while that post says the dialog now shows every section, with "no need to add a script to Favorites first". We couldn't test either: our account is on Basic. If a script you need won't load, adding a Pine script to TradingView covers saving it to your account.

Can you get alerts from a screen?

Not directly. TradingView's screener help describes no alert on a screen. Two documented routes come close.

Watchlist alert. Add the screen's results to a watchlist (above), then open the watchlist's menu and click Add alert on the list… (watchlist alerts). The alert checks the same condition on each symbol separately, and it follows the list as you add or remove symbols. The list doesn't follow the screen, though: the help's steps copy the rows you select, and nothing says the list updates when the screen's results change. Watchlist alerts need Premium (2 active) or Ultimate (15).

A Pine indicator that watches several symbols. TradingView's community scripts help describes indicators that work as "a screener that monitors dozens of symbols", with alerts when a condition is met. An alert on an indicator is a technical alert, which starts at 20 active on Essential. Basic gets 3 price alerts and no technical alerts.

If an alert you set this way stays silent, our alert troubleshooting covers the usual causes.

Filters to start with

A screen narrows what you look at; it doesn't tell you what a symbol does next. TradingView's own AI Screener post calls results "a starting point for your own research, not financial advice or recommendations". With that in mind, these are the filters we'd set first, in this order, because each one removes symbols you couldn't or wouldn't trade:

1. One market, Primary listing on. Companies whose main listing is elsewhere fall out.
2. A liquidity floor. Volume and market cap, from the Market data and Valuation groups, so thin names a few orders can move fall out.
3. A price range you can size. The Price filter, set to what your account and stop distance allow.
4. Your own condition, last. Whatever your method actually uses: a performance window, a moving-average cross, an RSI level. Then sort by the column you'll act on and save the screen.

Read the Technical Rating column with care. Its "Buy" and "Sell" labels come from averaging the signals of 26 indicators; for every moving average, price above it counts as "Buy" (Technical Ratings help). That describes where price sits against those indicators today; it isn't a forecast. And a screen is always as of now: "there is no filter in the screener that would allow using historical data". To see how a rule did in the past, write it as a strategy and test it in the Strategy Tester (how to backtest on TradingView).

If a screen comes back empty, check the "Last trade time" filter first: it drops every symbol that hasn't traded in the current session (empty screener help).

Where we stand

Our TradingView account is on the free Basic plan. We checked the screeners signed out and took everything else from TradingView's own pages; we didn't sign in to save, share, export or alert on a screen, and the Pine Screener isn't on our plan. We sell Pine v6 indicators, and on paper the Pine Screener can scan a watchlist with any indicator that has a plot or an alertcondition(). We haven't run ours through it, so we don't claim they work there.
