If you’ve ever run a stock screen, found a perfect-looking setup, and then discovered it isn’t even tradable in your brokerage, you already know the frustration. You spend time filtering fundamentals, technicals, or factor data, only to hit a dead end when you try to place the trade. This happens a lot with generic screeners that don’t care where you actually trade.

For Interactive Brokers users, the problem is even more obvious. IB gives access to thousands of stocks across global exchanges, but most screeners are either US-only, outdated, or completely disconnected from what IB actually supports. The result: good analysis, bad execution.

That gap between screening and execution is exactly where Investorean fits.

Why most stock screeners fail Interactive Brokers users

Let’s be honest. Most screeners are built for content, not for traders. They look good in demos, rank well on Google, and offer dozens of filters, but they ignore one critical constraint: your brokerage.

If you trade with Interactive Brokers, you likely care about:

Whether the stock is actually available on IB

Which exchange it trades on (and in which currency)

Liquidity that makes sense for real orders, not theoretical portfolios

Traditional screeners rarely solve this properly. They mix exchanges, list instruments you can’t trade, or require manual cross-checking inside IB afterward. That’s wasted time and broken workflow.

How Investorean solves the brokerage mismatch problem

Investorean stock screener is built with a simple but strict rule: screen only what you can realistically trade. Instead of giving you a massive, generic universe, it aligns screening results with real-world brokerage access, especially for Interactive Brokers users.

The platform focuses on quality over noise. You don’t get thousands of meaningless results. You get a smaller, cleaner universe that reflects actual markets, actual liquidity, and actual execution constraints.

This is not a “magic alpha” tool. It doesn’t promise returns. What it does is remove friction from your decision-making process. And that alone is a serious edge.

How the Investorean screener works in practice

At its core, Investorean combines market data, structured filters, and brokerage-aware logic. The workflow is straightforward:

You start with a defined stock universe that matches real exchanges and tradable instruments

You apply filters based on fundamentals, performance metrics, or market behavior

The screener returns stocks that remain consistent with Interactive Brokers’ trading reality

That last part is the key difference. You’re not screening “the market” in theory. You’re screening your market, as you can actually access it.

What makes Investorean a strong choice for Interactive Brokers traders

The biggest advantage is alignment. Investorean doesn’t try to be everything for everyone. It’s built for people who care about clean data, realistic constraints, and repeatable workflows.

In practical terms, that means:

Less time validating whether a stock is tradable

Fewer surprises when moving from analysis to execution

A screening process that fits long-term investing and systematic strategies

If you already use Interactive Brokers seriously, Investorean feels less like another tool and more like missing infrastructure.

Before you go

There is no shortage of stock screeners on the internet. Most of them are fine for learning, browsing, or content consumption. Very few are built for actual traders using real brokerages.

If Interactive Brokers is your execution layer, your screener should respect that reality. Investorean does exactly that—no hype, no fake universes, no irrelevant stocks. Just screening that connects cleanly to how you actually trade.
