Short screener bug?

Chipper6 · February 16, 2015, 10:17pm

In the long/short screener, the long rules apply to short side too. So for example if you want to go long stocks with a PE of < 15 and short PE > 25 it cannot be done. Is this intentional?

Thanks.

The long rules do not all go onto the short side. There are separate areas for rules which apply to both long and short, just long, and just short. I had the same problem originally.

Hi Pilot,

Thanks. I found the separate areas but it’s still an issue see the following screenshots. Notice how turning on the long rule to only allow the top 10 percentiles filters out the bottom 90 percentiles from the short side.

EDIT: Notice the zero in the right hand column of the lower screenshot.
