Does FIA use real-time market data in screeners?

Yes, FIA uses real-time market data to generate screener results. This means the moment a stock meets your conditions—whether it's a price breakout, volume spike, or open interest surge—it shows up in your results instantly.

You don’t have to refresh or re-run the screener manually. This live feed helps you react faster, especially during volatile market hours when timing matters most.

Example:
If you’re scanning for “stocks breaking above yesterday’s high with a sudden volume surge,” FIA will pull in stocks the moment they match that setup—helping you act while the move is still happening.
