## ChartMill

**Technical-plus-fundamental screener with 0–10 ratings, 302 preset strategy screens and point-in-time historical scanning.**

**Best for:** Swing traders and screen tinkerers who want technicals and fundamentals in one tool with preset strategies of famous investors — and do not need real-time data.

Strengths:
- Composite 0–10 ratings on both the technical and the fundamental side, all usable as screener filters
- Historical screening: run any screen as of a past date — rare in this class
- 302 preset screens modelled on named strategies: CANSLIM, Minervini, Zweig, Lynch and more
- Deep alerting: nine alert types, including saved-screen alerts across a watchlist

Trade-offs:
- All market data is 15 minutes delayed even on paid plans, and most screener fields update once a day
- Free-tier limits are undocumented — the credit-system page was removed from their docs
- European fundamentals cover only Xetra and Euronext; London and Nordic listings are price data only
- No mobile apps, and the standard monthly price is high for delayed data

## TradingView

**Global charting platform with screeners for stocks, ETFs and crypto; Pine Script powers custom screens, backtests and alerts.**

**Best for:** Chart-first traders and technically minded investors screening any market in the world — especially anyone willing to write a little Pine Script to make the screener match their exact system.

Strengths:
- Broadest screening universe in the category: six screener types and multi-region stock screening across global exchanges
- Pine Script ecosystem — custom indicators and strategies, server-side backtesting, 150k+ community scripts, and screening on your own code
- Best-in-class alerts: price/technical/watchlist families, multi-condition logic, up to 1,000 concurrent alerts
- Excellent, hugely popular mobile apps and a 19-language interface
- Genuine free-forever plan with the screener included

Trade-offs:
- No public data API at all, by the vendor's own statement — automation means the browser or nothing
- Users report patchy fundamental data outside US large caps — worth cross-checking before trusting a non-US fundamental screen
- Custom metrics require writing Pine Script, and screening on them needs Premium or higher
- Recurring pricing complaints — top tiers are expensive and aggressive discount sales undercut list-price trust
