Filter Logic & Presets

MarketAlpha lets you build powerful filter combinations using simple controls — no coding required. By combining presets with flexible AND/OR logic, you can screen for highly specific conditions across any metric.

Filter Presets​

Most filters come with one or more presets — predefined conditions you can apply instantly.

Examples include:

  • “Above EMA 20”
  • “RSI 14 < 30”
  • “Liquidity Rating > 70”
  • “Gap From Close > 2%”
  • “Top Alpha Setup = Yes”
  • “EPS Growth Rate > 5%”

You can apply a preset and then modify it freely. Presets are a fast way to build filters without needing to set conditions manually.

Using presets is the fastest way to get started — especially when exploring a new metric or strategy.

Filter Groups​

Each set of filters is part of a group. You can add multiple groups and name them however you like.

Each group has a logic toggle at the top — you can set it to:

  • AND → All filters in that group must be valid
  • OR → At least one filter in that group must be valid

You can add, delete, rename, or reorder groups at any time.

AND vs OR Logic​

AND​

Use when you want all filters to be true for a result to match.

Example:

  • AI Strategy = Long
  • Liquidity Rating > 70
  • Gap < -1%

All 3 must be true for a ticker to appear in the results.

OR​

Use when only one of the filters must be true.

Example:

  • RSI 14 < 30
  • RSI Divergence Days = 2
  • Price at Support = Yes

This returns any ticker that meets at least one of those conditions.

Between Group Logic​

Between groups, logic is always treated as AND.

This means:

  • Every active group must return true
  • Inside each group, you control whether filters are evaluated as AND or OR

This gives you highly customizable screening power — for example:

  • Group 1 (structure): AI Strategy = Long AND Liquidity > 70
  • Group 2 (volume): Relative Volume > 1.5 OR Volume > 500K
  • Group 3 (behavior): Gap < -2% AND RSI < 40

All three groups must match, but you can vary the logic within each group.

Summary​

Presets let you apply powerful filters instantly. Group logic gives you control over how filters interact — allowing you to layer structure, volume, behavior, and technicals with clarity. Use AND/OR logic to refine your strategy and build custom screeners with precision.
