ChartsPod Screener Results: Explain the Rule Behind Each Match
A screener result you cannot explain is a result you cannot trust. Each match should trace back to the rule and the values that triggered it.
Short answer
For every ChartsPod Screener Lab match, write down which filters it passed and the actual values (for example 24h volume, OI change and price change with units and window), then open the chart to confirm the values are real and not caused by a data gap, a listing-day spike or a contract change. Discard matches you cannot explain. ChartsPod describes Screener Lab as a transparent, repeatable universe scan; explanation is what makes it repeatable.
Explanation template
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Market | SOLUSDT perp, venue |
| Rule passed | OI 24h > +8% |
| Actual value | +11.2% (coin units) |
| Rule passed | Price 24h within ±2% |
| Actual value | +0.8% |
| Chart check | No gaps; OI rise gradual |
| Keep? | Yes |
Common artefacts
Control names in the terminal can change between releases. If a label differs from this guide, look for the setting that does the job described.
Re-running the screen
Run the same screen at the same time each day. Compare today's matches with yesterday's: new names, dropped names and persistent names each tell you something different. A name appearing for several days with steadily rising OI is a different situation from a one-day spike.
Example: an explained and an unexplained match
Illustrative: a screen for rising OI with flat price returns two names. The first shows OI up 11% in coin terms across a steady climb over the day with no gaps; the match is explained and kept. The second shows OI jumping 40% in one candle right after a data gap; on inspection, the gap made the baseline artificially low. It is discarded.
Without opening the chart, both would have looked like equally strong candidates.
Repeatability
Save the rule with timestamp; rerun on a schedule and compare matches. If results swing wildly, tighten units and windows. See How to Create a Volume and Open-Interest Screen in ChartsPod.

Sources and methodology
ChartsPod capabilities were checked against its public overview, documentation index, markets and indicator pages on 17 October 2026. Exact control names inside the terminal can change between releases, so this guide describes what to set and check rather than quoting menu labels. Venue availability is shown per tool in the terminal. Worked examples use illustrative numbers.
