News Filter?

[ydfah]

Is a news filter in the works by any chance? I'd love a way to block the articles regarding those bloodsucking law firms that announce class action suits multiple times a day.

There is a LOT of noise  in the news stream.   A keyword filter for exclusion AND a highlight method to flag items of interest would be HUGE

You guys always say that. 🙄 😉 Take a look at this image of a 7-day period for just one of the stocks I'm dealing with. Out of the 42 news lines shown, 35 are garbage law firm announcements and only 7 are actual news. Multiply this window by many other stock tickers and it quickly gets annoying to have to weed through them all.

maybe it says something about the type of stocks you are playing

as for what we say, best I can do. sorry.

Well I'd like to play the popular fast moving ones, but MT just can't seem to keep up with those. ↘️ 🤪

[Jerry Medved]

Yea, right. we tested and regularly run with SPY, @ES, AAPL, etc. no problem keeping up

ps, I know there's a keyword alert already .  I use it

Is there any way to have multiple phrases is the same alert.  ie comma separated .  I dont think that works now, so a separate alert  for every keyword is needed.  Correct me  if Im wrong.

Will do after the new prod is released.

 I dont think this ever happened.

 Could really use a filter in the main  news feed for excluding garbage.

 Same method  as the ALERTS box would prob work well .

Those clowns at Benzinga are polluting the feed with endless "Understanding XYZ Unusual Options Activity" headlines. 

 

[Mike Medved]

You can use "and" and "or"... So yes you can have several criteria in there.
 

[stock777]

 sorry, I don't see any filtering option on the ALL  NEWS feed, which is what I was referring to

you cannot dynamically filter at this time. I think Mike meant that you use the expressions in alerts on news. not in the news window itself

[Mike Medved]

I will have it put on the todo list

You're awesome Mike!

I'm also interested in this, but I'd like to filter by news date (i.e. newer than xx/xx/xxxx, today), and if possible by market size (i.e. float < 50m), and by price range. Others would be nice - market (NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.)

[Jerry Medved]

right now the news window is not setup for filtering (would have to change the way we handle the display of the data). However, once we do add the filtering, it will not have access to the filters that you asked for. For that you would want to filter in a portfolio by modifying scans etc and then just looking at the news for the result symbols. Or, you can do it using our API.

Well it's been 4-years since you said, "we will be doing that" and still no new filter. 🙄

Unless I'm using it wrong, that filters news articles you want to see, it doesn't exclude articles by keyword.

[ydfah]

I guess I was using it wrong. It uses AND OR NOT operators, I was trying to use +/- operators.

I wanted to filter out lawyers and lawsuit articles, so here's what I wrote, and it works: not "shareholder alert" and not "deadline alert" and not rosen and not glancy and not kirby

👍

For some reason, I don't have the "symbols" row like you do, only "headline" and "source."

The "Symbols" filter is only on the "All News" window.
