iVest+, an innovator in trading platforms for educators and retail investors, today announced the launch of a new, best-in-class stock screener for its retail product Market Gear. In addition, the company is expanding its offerings to include market education and office hours.
Market Gear opens the door to the new screener, which enables customers to scan for stocks based on over 200 variables. The user interface makes it quick and easy to select stock characteristics, and deep data sources allow for efficient screening based on both fundamental and technical data.

“We looked at everything the industry had to offer and said to ourselves, ‘How can we do this better?’” said Rance Masheck, CEO of iVest+. “There are stock screeners out there, but so many of them just make you feel like you can choose between a range of prices and which exchanges the stocks are on.”
By comparison, Market Gear’s screener lets investors pick from over 200 data points and then sort by the high and low of each. This includes everything from technical data, such as price, to moving averages and fundamental data, like price-to-book, and more. The screener is even “time of day aware.” Traders can screen intraday based on average volume in stocks at that point in the trading day.

“If you want to know where the activity is in the market, the screener will make that easily available,” Masheck said. “And you can save your parameters and run them each day when you want.”
The screener is part of the Signature and Master Kits for Market Gear, which now include a 21-class webinar series about everything from technical chart patterns to complex options strategies.
“Let’s face it, people are trading options more than ever with the market volume up 70% over last year, but most don’t understand the potential,” said Chris Mercer, COO of iVest+. “Our platform is set up to make it easy, so we decided that teaching people how various strategies work with the platform was important and beneficial to them.”
