Screener Done .. What Next?

Trading

I have been struggling with this for quite sometime. Internet is flooded with screener to filter stocks but what next? Screeners I agree to bring down universe but what I have noticed is much selection work remains to finally decide what to trade/invest in.

I have found that these screens are looking at point in time data with some dynamic conditions of say twice the standard deviation of X or something as per screener condition but still ratio of actually picking stocks from filtered universe for me is very less.

Tried AI like ChatGPT, Claude by giving them price charts of filtered assets but it feels like they also explain what is happening in chart rather than connecting dots.

Am I doing it wrong or what? Are there any proper systems for these I dont know about?

Hi Ansh, I’m Dishant, I built OptFolio (optfolio.in), so I’m biased, but you’re not doing it wrong: a screen only narrows the field. What helped me was a fixed second pass: rank the shortlist by relative strength vs Nifty and sector strength, favour pullbacks to support over extended names, and log every pick so you can see your real hit rate. With ChatGPT or Claude, pasting the actual numbers and asking it to rank and argue against each name works better than sending chart images. That ranking step is what OptFolio’s Top picks and portfolio scores are for, and the free plan is enough to try it.
