I am a paid user and the benefits of screener is tremendous for my research.
One thing I would request is an ability to see any financial item x number of period ago
For instance, in amibroker if I want a price 2 days back I can write a formula I think ref(c,-1) where c is close.
Other programs have similar syntax
It would be great to have a quarterly or yearly net profit, x periods back in user columns
That will probably make it a bit intuitive for usage
Currently quarterly profits can only be referenced, upto 5 quarters back.
Some data like cash flow from operation is only available for latest year.
Some data cannot be referenced at all like “Fixed assets purchased”
Ideally if I could make a column called Ref(fixed assets purchased, -1) I should be able to get last periods fixed assets purchased.
I know those who come from IT background scrape this data and its quite easy to do but it puts unnecassary load on the server.
