karl11 on HNThis is really promising. I have tested many free screeners and they are really bad from UX perspective. Can I filter by Sector and other category variables? I'm only focusing on…

Support for European and Australian stocks
From 2 comments
Pretty please add European stocks (UK and Germany). The US screeners are all pretty good. Europe side it's all garbage.
Havoc on HNIs there such a platform available for Australia as well which is free/not too expensive?
