The Stock Screener is one of FinTrail’s most powerful tools. It lets you filter all ~400 DSE-listed stocks using over 60 criteria spanning price, volume, valuation, fundamentals, shareholding, and technical indicators. Whether you are looking for undervalued dividend stocks or momentum plays with high RSI, the screener finds them for you.
How the Screener Works
The screener starts by showing all stocks sorted by volume. From there, you add filters to narrow down the list. Results update instantly as you change criteria.
Predefined Screens
FinTrail includes 12 ready-made screens for common strategies. Click any screen to instantly apply its filters:
- Top Gainers — stocks with positive daily change, sorted by highest gain
- Top Losers — stocks with negative daily change, sorted by biggest drop
- Most Active — highest trading volume today
- Top Value — highest trade value (price multiplied by volume)
- Near 52W High — stocks within 5% of their 52-week high
- Near 52W Low — stocks within 5% of their 52-week low
- High Dividend — dividend yield above 3%
- Oversold (RSI < 30) — technically oversold stocks
- Overbought (RSI > 70) — technically overbought stocks
- Value Stocks (Low P/E) — P/E ratio between 0.01 and 15
- High Sponsor Holding — sponsor/director ownership above 50%
- Foreign Interest — foreign ownership above 1%
These screens are a great starting point. You can use them as-is or add additional filters on top.

Data Tabs
The results table has seven tabs, each showing a different set of columns:
- Overview — price, change, volume, market cap, P/E, EPS, dividend yield, sector
- Performance — price changes across multiple timeframes (1W, 1M, 3M, YTD, 1Y, distance from 52W high/low)

Switch tabs to analyze the same filtered results from different angles without changing your filters.

Saving Screeners
Once you have built a useful combination of filters, save it for reuse:
- Set up your filters
- Click Save Screener
- Give it a name (e.g., “Undervalued High Dividend” or “Momentum Breakout”)
Your saved screeners appear alongside the predefined ones. Load any saved screener with a single click.
Adding to Watchlist
While browsing screener results, you can add stocks directly to your watchlists without leaving the page. This makes it easy to build a shortlist from your screening session.
