ChartsPod Screener Universe Filters: Settings to Check Before Your First Analysis

Before any condition runs, the universe decides which symbols are even considered. A screen is only as fair as its universe.

Short answer

ChartsPod's screener builds nested conditions over markets on its venues. The universe filter comes first: which venues, spot or perpetual, quote asset, minimum volume or listing age. A universe that includes thin or newly listed markets fills results with symbols whose indicators have short histories; one that is too narrow hides opportunities. Fix the universe, note its size, and keep it constant when comparing screens over time.

Common first-session mistakes:

  • Mixing spot and perp of the same coin
  • No volume floor
  • Changing the universe between runs

Worked example

Illustrative: an RSI screen over all 900 markets returns 60 hits, many from week-old listings. With a volume floor and 90-day listing age, it returns 9.
