Screener and filters
The 24h changes screener is the main tool for building and editing lists. It shows every coin for the selected exchange and market, lets you narrow the visible set with filters, check or uncheck individual coins, and then save the result as a named list. Understanding the difference between what a filter shows and what actually ends up saved is the key to using the screener confidently.
What this section covers
- How the screener is opened: from the list manager via “Create” to build a new list, or via “Edit” to modify an existing one.
- Which exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX) and market (Spot or Futures) to choose at the top of the screener, and why this choice determines the entire coin universe shown.
- What the four filter types do: exchange/market group, quote asset (USDT, BNB, and others), metric thresholds (price change %, quote volume, USD volume), and symbol text search.
- The difference between filtering and enabling: a filter only changes which rows are visible; it does not automatically check or uncheck any coin.
- How to select coins: click individual checkboxes, use “Select all” to check every currently visible row, or use “Exclude all” to uncheck everything visible.
- What the three bottom counters mean: “Total” is the full coin universe for this exchange and market, “Filtered” is how many rows the current filter shows, “Total enabled” is how many coins are actually checked and will enter the saved list.
- Why a warning appears when more than 300 coins are enabled for one exchange/market pair, and what it means for data loading speed.
- How to name the list, toggle “Enable now”, and save — and what each choice changes about the working screen after saving.
Key screens and controls
- Screener header with exchange buttons (Binance, Bybit, OKX) and market buttons (Spot, Futures).
- Filter row with quote asset selector, metric threshold inputs, and symbol search field.
- Coin table with individual checkboxes and “Select all” / “Exclude all” controls.
- Bottom save area showing Total, Filtered, Total enabled counters, List name field, Enable now toggle, and Save button.
- Warning banner that appears when more than 300 coins are enabled for one exchange/market pair.
Step-by-step flow
- Open the list manager from the list header. Click “Create” to start a new list, or “Edit” next to an existing list to update it.
- In the screener, choose the exchange (Binance, Bybit, or OKX) and the market (Spot or Futures) at the top. The coin table updates immediately to reflect the selection.
- To narrow the visible rows, apply one or more filters: select a quote asset (USDT, BNB, etc.), set a numeric threshold for price change, volume, or USD volume, or type a symbol in the search field.
- Review the “Filtered” counter at the bottom. It shows how many coins the current filter exposes. The “Total” counter never changes and always shows the full exchange/market universe.
- Check the coins you want in the list. Use “Select all” to check every visible row at once, or check them individually. Use “Exclude all” to uncheck all visible rows if you want to start over.
- Watch the “Total enabled” counter. It shows the real count of coins that will enter the saved list. If it exceeds 300 for any exchange/market combination, a warning appears.
- Type a name in the “List name” field. Leave “Enable now” on if you want the new list to become active immediately after saving.
- Press “Save”. If “Enable now” was on, the working screen switches to the new list. If it was off, the list is created but stays inactive until you select it from the list manager.

Operational notes
- Filters only change which rows are visible in the screener. They do not check or uncheck any coin by themselves.
- ”Select all” and “Exclude all” act only on the rows currently visible after filtering. Hidden rows are not affected.
- A coin can be checked even if it does not match the current filter. If you check a coin and then change the filter so that coin is no longer visible, the coin stays checked and will still appear in “Total enabled”.
- The “Total enabled” counter is the only reliable number that shows how many coins will actually enter the saved list.
- If you open “Edit” on an existing list, the screener restores the previous coin selection. You can add or remove coins and save again without losing the list name.
- The 300-coin warning is per exchange/market pair. A list with 250 Binance Spot coins and 250 Bybit Futures coins will not trigger it because each pair is counted separately.
When to use it
- When you are filtering your watchlist and want to understand which thresholds shape the visible set.
- When you need to understand how filter state interacts with list contents, sort order, and metric columns.
- When you are trying to narrow down candidates by market conditions rather than taking a chart action.
When not to rely on it
- If you are debugging one specific fired alert or a saved drawing.
- If your question is about metric formula internals rather than how to use the filter controls.
Typical interpretation mistakes
- Treating filters as passive labels instead of active state that changes what appears in the list.
- Comparing screener results without checking that the market, mode, and timeframe context are the same.
- Confusing sort order with eligibility filters — they are separate settings.
Algorithms and formulas to understand
- Why “Select all” only affects the filtered subset and not the entire coin universe
- Why a checked coin that becomes hidden by a filter still counts in “Total enabled”
- Why the 300-coin threshold triggers a warning and what it means for backend data synchronization
