I know that it is possible to be an advanced filter to filter stocks that are part of the S&P 500 Index but is it possible to filter for any other indexes such as the Russell 1000 or the Russell 3000 indexes? How do I find what indexes are included in this database?

Let me add a new question.... How would I filter for stocks that are EITHER a member of the S&P 500 Index OR the S&P 400 MC Index OR the S&P 600 SC Index?

Last question.... I think I figured out how to filter for membership in one of the three S&P Indexes but now how do I filter that down for non-bank stocks? I have the S&P 1500 filter set up as an advanced screen and a simple screen for "is not a bank" so how do I combine them so I get the stocks that are members of the S&P 1500 that are not banks?

To answer your questions
Q1: I know that it is possible to be an advanced filter to filter stocks that are part of the S&P 500 Index but is it possible to filter for any other indexes such as the Russell 1000 or the Russell 3000 indexes? How do I find what indexes are included in this database? A1: You can go to Add Condition->Descriptive->Security->Index Membership. You can then see the indexes we support in the drop down menu. We do not support the Russell indexes. Q2: Let me add a new question.... How would I filter for stocks that are EITHER a member of the S&P 500 Index OR the S&P 400 MC Index OR the S&P 600 SC Index? A2: You can use the following Advanced Screener condition: (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 600 Small Cap%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) OR (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 500%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) OR (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 400 Mid Cap%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) Q3: I have the S&P 1500 filter set up as an advanced screen and a simple screen for "is not a bank" so how do I combine them so I get the stocks that are members of the S&P 1500 that are not banks? A3: You can go to your "is not a bank" basic screen, click the advanced screen tab to generate the equivalent advanced screener code, add an open parenthesis to the beginning and a close parenthesis to the end, and then copy the code. You can then go back to your index membership advanced screen and paste "AND [is not a bank screen code]" at the end of the screen. Then, click Run Screen. For example: (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 600 Small Cap%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) OR (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 500%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) OR (indexmembership LIKE "%S+P 400 Mid Cap%" AND (indexmembership) IS NOT NULL) AND [is not a bank code] |

Thanks for the help. The only one of these I am having trouble with is the last one. I generated the line that is supposed to filter out "banks" from my list but that does not seem to work. The line of code I am using is:
AND (industry != "Banks" AND (industry) IS NOT NULL) but even with that at the end, I am still getting banks in my list. What am I missing here?! Thanks! |

Can you paste your full advanced screener code into this thread?
