Cryptocurrency Screener: Setup and Usage Guide

A cryptocurrency screener is a tool through which traders monitor the market. Its principle of operation lies in the automated collection of quotes from selected cryptocurrency platforms, such as Binance, Bybit, and OKX.

One of the main advantages of the screener is the ability to analyze the market from different perspectives without the need to switch between exchanges or view multiple charts.

A trader does not need to spend time on manual analysis of quotes - the screener provides clear and structured information about the current market conditions. This allows for quick decision-making regarding entry or exit from trades based on screener data.

You can start using our cryptocurrency screener for free, it's available at this link. The cryptocurrency screener from Trader's Diary includes sections: "Watchlist", "Leaders of Growth", "Leaders of Fall", "Volatility", and "Funding".

Timeframe is the time interval for which you want to obtain information about cryptocurrency assets. Setting the timeframe allows you to focus on a specific period, which can be crucial for market analysis. For instance, a short timeframe (1/5/15 minutes) is suitable for intraday trading, while a long timeframe (1 day) provides a more long-term perspective.
The screener displays data for various time periods: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 1 day. Select the appropriate time interval by clicking on the corresponding icon:

The cryptocurrency screener displays the time in the timezone selected in the profile settings. If you don't have an account, the time will be shown in your device's timezone.
To change the timezone settings, go to "Settings" and in the "Timezone" section, click on the "Change" button.

This parameter allows you to configure the number of rows displayed in the screener. If you need extensive information, increase the number of rows. If you prefer a more compact table, decrease this value. This is important for comfortable data perception and analysis convenience. You can customize the number of displayed rows (assets) for the "Leaders of Growth", "Leaders of Fall", "Volatility", and "Funding" sections. To do this, simply click on the dropdown menu and select one of the options from the list: 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 rows.

One of the key aspects of working with a cryptocurrency screener is choosing the exchanges on which you plan to trade. Each exchange provides its own unique set of cryptocurrency instruments, and it's important to consider this when analyzing the market.

For example, if you're interested in trading a specific cryptocurrency asset, but it's not available on your current exchange, don't worry. We have prepared an article for you called "Available exchanges", where you will find a list of reliable exchanges with detailed descriptions and referral links. By registering through these links, you'll receive additional bonuses on top of your deposit.

For each section, you can customize the display of data by exchanges. To do this, click on the "Groups" icon.

In the opened window, select the desired exchange. You can choose between the exchanges "Binance - USDⓈ-M", "Bybit - USDT Perpetual" and "OKX - Perpetual swaps" and Spot Binance, Bybit, OKX.

The screener includes an integrated TradingView chart. It automatically updates when you select an instrument, providing you with a visual representation of the dynamics of the chosen cryptocurrency assets. This allows for a quick assessment of the current market conditions and identification of potential trends.

You can customize the display of multiple graphs according to your needs. To do this, go to the top right corner and select the display: 1, 2, and 4 graphs.

Working with the market begins with creating a Watchlist. This is your personal list of cryptocurrencies that interest you. Typically, it includes fundamental assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have an impact on the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. The Watchlist helps you stay informed about the current market situation and respond to changes more swiftly. This personal tracking list allows you to work more efficiently and make more informed decisions.

Please note that the "Watchlist" section displays data according to the selected time period. Additionally, you can customize the display of data for the watchlist based on exchanges. We explained how to do this in the "The available exchanges" section above.

To add an asset to your watchlist, click on the star next to the asset's name.

Or click on the "+" icon in the 'Watchlist' section next to the exchange name.

When an asset no longer interests you, you can easily remove it from your watchlist. This helps keep your watchlist up-to-date.

It's important to understand that regardless of the assets a trader deals with, it's crucial to stay updated on current market events, identify what's trending, and which assets are experiencing a decline.
