QMA vs. a typical stock screener — feature comparison
A screener is a fast way to filter thousands of stocks down to those that meet your chosen metrics — often with a market map. QMA has a screener too, but it also fuses metrics into one A++ to F score and adds layers that plain filters do not show: insider trades, trades by members of Congress, reported fund positions and off-exchange trading.
The comparison describes a typical tool of this category, not a specific product. Individual products differ and features change.
| Capability | QMA | Typical tool Stock screener |
|---|---|---|
| Stock filtering by metrics (screener) | yes | yes |
| Fused 5-pillar score (A++ to F) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Insider trades and trades by members of Congress | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Reported fund positions (13F, delayed up to 45 days) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Off-exchange trading (FINRA) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Strategy backtests showing t-stat and trade count (n) | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Portfolio + trading journal | yes | partly / varies by product |
| Real-time data from direct exchange feeds | QMA does not offer | partly / varies by product |
| Czech-language interface | yes | partly / varies by product |
When QMA makes sense
QMA makes sense if, beyond filtering metrics, you want a fused rating and data layers on what insiders and funds are doing.
- A fused A++ to F score instead of hand-assembling filters
- Insider and congressional trades, reported fund positions and off-exchange trading in one place
- Strategy backtests showing t-stat and n
- Portfolio, trading journal and a Czech interface
When this type of tool makes sense
A typical screener makes sense if you mainly want to filter the market by metrics quickly and browse a market map, often for free.
- Fast filtering across dozens of metrics
- A clear market map for quick browsing
- Often a free tier with a low barrier to entry
