Custom Screen Process (`/trade screen custom`)

When the user provides natural language criteria:

Step 1: Parse the Request

Extract screening parameters from natural language. Examples:

• "small cap biotech with insider buying" → Market cap $300M-$2B, sector: healthcare/biotech, insider purchases last 90 days
• "tech stocks under $50 with high short interest" → Sector: technology, price < $50, short interest > 15%
• "companies buying back their own stock" → Active share repurchase program, buyback yield > 2%

Step 2: Map to Searchable Criteria

Convert parsed parameters into WebSearch queries: 1. Primary search combining key criteria 2. Secondary search for verification data 3. Tertiary search for any remaining metrics

Step 3: Screen and Filter

Apply all criteria strictly. Only include stocks that meet ALL specified requirements.

Data Collection Process

For EVERY screen, collect these metrics for each qualifying stock:
