Chartlas vs Finviz vs TradingView vs TC2000 vs Koyfin: Which Equity Screener Is Right for You?

Equity screeners in 2026 range from free filter-based tools to full-blown terminal replacements — but few of them automate technical signal detection across a global universe and deliver the results to your inbox. Here is how Chartlas compares to Finviz, TradingView, TC2000, and Koyfin, and why you might want to use them together.

Chartlas was built to fill that gap. It is not a replacement for Finviz, TradingView, TC2000, or Koyfin — it works alongside them. Each of these platforms has strengths that Chartlas does not try to replicate. But when it comes to automated, large-scale technical signal screening delivered to your inbox, Chartlas does something they do not focus on.

How Chartlas Is Different: Batch Signal Screening

The fundamental difference is scope and automation.

Finviz lets you build powerful screener filters — RSI below 30, price above 200-day MA, and so on. But you define the criteria, run the screen, and check results manually. Alerts require an Elite subscription. Coverage is US stocks only.

TradingView has the best charting in the business, and its alerting is better than it used to be: watchlist alerts (added January 2025) let a single alert cover an entire watchlist, symbols added later are included automatically, and notifications can arrive by email. The remaining differences are workflow-level. Alerts fire one notification per symbol rather than as a consolidated report, watchlists are maintained by hand, and alert counts are capped per plan — so monitoring multiple signals across a large, changing universe still means building and maintaining the lists and conditions yourself.

TC2000 comes closest to batch scanning with its EasyScan engine — 240+ indicators, real-time streaming scans, and the ability to set conditional alerts on multiple stocks at once. But each stock counts against your alert limit (5 on Silver, 100 on Gold, 1,000 on Platinum), coverage is limited to US and Canadian exchanges, and alerts fire individually — one email, SMS, or pop-up per trigger rather than a consolidated report. You also need to define every condition yourself.

Koyfin excels at fundamental analysis — thousands of screening metrics, 10 years of historical financials, global coverage. But its alert system focuses on price moves, valuation changes, and news. It is not built to detect technical signals like Bollinger Band breakouts or volume surges across the entire market.

Chartlas computes 21 technical signals — including RSI extremes, MACD crossovers, Bollinger Band breakouts, Golden/Death Cross, volume surges, and more — across 34,000+ securities on 70+ exchanges every day, automatically. You do not set up individual alerts. You create a report once — takes about 60 seconds — and receive everything that triggered. Golden Crosses in Tokyo, Volume Breakouts in London, MACD crossovers in New York — all in one email.

How Chartlas Is Different: Idea Generation

Most screeners assume you already know what you are looking for. Chartlas can work the other way around — it surfaces opportunities you were not tracking. A Bullish Breakout signal fires on a stock you have never heard of — in an industry starting to turn from the bottom. It shouldn't be just a price alert. It is a starting point for research. Combined with CHRT industry indexes, you can see whether that breakout is isolated or part of a broader sector rotation before you spend time on it.

Where Each Platform Excels

Finviz — The Go-To Free US Screener

Finviz deserves its reputation. The screener is fast, intuitive, and free for most use cases. The heat maps are great for a quick market overview. Insider trading data and analyst ratings are useful extras. If you only trade US stocks and prefer to manually scan each day, Finviz is hard to beat.

What it does not do: international stocks, automated technical signal detection, custom industry indexes.

TradingView — The Standard for Charting

For detailed chart analysis, TradingView is the standard. Pine Script lets you build custom indicators, the community library is massive, and the charting experience is unmatched. If you already know which stocks to watch and want deep technical analysis on them, TradingView is the right tool.

What it does not do: deliver a consolidated, cross-market report of signal triggers — watchlist alerts fire per symbol, and the watchlists themselves are maintained by hand.

TC2000 — Powerful Real-Time Scanning for US Markets

TC2000 is the strongest platform for active traders who want real-time technical scanning with deep customization. EasyScan runs conditions across watchlists in seconds, the condition wizard lets you build complex multi-indicator setups, and the integrated brokerage means you can trade directly from your scans.

What it does not do: cover international exchanges, deliver a consolidated report across all triggers, or run signals automatically without user-defined conditions. Alert limits also cap how many tickers you can monitor simultaneously.

Koyfin — Deep Fundamental Analysis

Koyfin is what you want when you need to compare P/E ratios across 50 companies, screen by EPS growth, or build financial models. The depth of fundamental data at its price point is exceptional — widely praised by financial professionals for its Bloomberg-like coverage at a fraction of the cost.

What it does not do: compute technical signals like MACD crossovers or Bollinger Band breakouts across the equity universe.

Chartlas — Built for Automated Signal Screening

Chartlas is purpose-built for easy workflow: scanning a large universe of securities for technical signals and delivering the results to you. No manual filter setup, no per-ticker alerts, no daily ritual of checking screeners. Create a report, define your universe (by geography, sector, market cap), and the platform does the rest.

4,000+ equal-weighted CHRT industry indexes (with Investable and Liquid variants) let you see which parts of the market are moving before you look at individual stocks. Market breadth indicators tell you whether a rally is broad or narrow. And if you have your own watchlist, upload it and every stock gets monitored daily.

Every signal report can be downloaded as a PDF or Excel file — easy to save, study offline, or share with colleagues.

What it does not do: real-time streaming alerts, deep fundamental statement analysis like Koyfin, deep charting like TradingView, or custom formula building like TC2000. Update (July 2026): fundamental screening, still in development when this was written, has since shipped — reports can now filter on ~28 fundamental metrics.

Using Chartlas Alongside Your Existing Tools

The most effective setup is using Chartlas as the discovery layer alongside one of these platforms:

• Chartlas + TradingView: Chartlas identifies what is triggering signals across the market. You then open TradingView to do deep chart analysis on the names that matter.
• Chartlas + TC2000: Chartlas handles the global, automated scan. You use TC2000 for real-time US analysis and execution on the setups Chartlas surfaces.
• Chartlas + Koyfin: Chartlas flags technical setups. You check Koyfin for the fundamental picture — is this breakout backed by improving earnings, or is it noise?
• Chartlas + Finviz: Chartlas handles the daily automated scan. You use Finviz for quick US market overviews and heat maps.

Chartlas is quick to set up, runs in the background, and delivers results to your inbox. It does not try to be everything — it does one thing well and lets you use your existing tools for the rest.
