MarketInOut Screener: Check the Logic, Units and Data First
MarketInOut supports criteria selection, custom formulas and natural-language screening. Compare those capabilities with Pineify's technical collections, and check the units, periods and price-adjustment settings behind a matching symbol.
In-Depth Review
Match the Screening Method to the Rule
Documented Screening Features
Several ways to express and inspect a condition:
- Formula expressions for combining technical conditions and historical observations
- AI-assisted setup that shows the formula for review and manual adjustment
- Saved screens, matching-symbol alerts and a separate strategy backtesting workflow
Definition and Coverage Checks
These settings can change which symbols match:
- A percentage value and a decimal fraction require different numeric thresholds
- An intraday interval must be supported for the selected symbol universe
- Dividend-adjusted and unadjusted price series can produce different technical results
Direct Comparison
MarketInOut vs. Pineify Market Screener
| Dimension | MarketInOut Screener | Pineify Market Screener |
|---|---|---|
| Building a screen | Criteria selection, formula expressions and an AI assistant that exposes the generated formula. | Select supported technical fields; no arbitrary MarketInOut formula execution. |
| Formula logic | Combine conditions and periods, reference historical offsets and customize result columns. | Compare available readings in up to 20 indicator columns. |
| Intraday scope | 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h for the documented IEX stock universe, Forex and crypto. | Eight selectable intervals from 1m to 1d; verify the listing is supported. |
| Timestamps | Use Timestamp view; feed timing differs by market. Intraday availability is a separate restriction. | Visible active collection polls every 60 seconds; data-provider timing remains separate. |
| Testing | Strategy Backtester simulates entries and exits under specified rules. | A collection of current readings is not a backtest or an order engine. |
| Membership | Limited free tools; paid fixed-duration memberships. Review signup terms and any trial request with support. | Full screener access needs Expert or higher; 15 collections with up to 100 symbols each. |
| Portability | Formulas and output columns use MarketInOut definitions and units. | No automatic competitor-rule import, proprietary-score translation or broker execution. |
The Practical Workflow
Keep the Rule Inspectable Across Tools
Changing the interface does not preserve the logic automatically. Record the calculation conventions first.
Step 1: Inspect the Formula and Units
Review the criteria or generated formula, including its universe, grouping and periods. Use result columns to inspect the values behind a match. Save whether the calculation uses adjusted prices and completed or developing bars.
Step 2: Recheck Available Fields in Pineify
Add a supported listing to a collection and configure the available technical fields. Compare at the same observation time and interval. A similar indicator name does not establish identical parameters, data or formula behavior.
A Unit Change Can Change a Screen by a Factor of 100
Suppose an unadjusted price rises from 80 to 84 over the chosen lookback. Its fractional change is 0.05 and its percentage change is 5%. On MarketInOut's current ROC scale, a greater-than-5 threshold asks for more than 5%; greater than 0.05 asks for more than 0.05%. The example's exact 5% move does not pass a strict greater-than-5 condition.
The Formula Screener documentation also expresses market cap and average volume in millions. A hypothetical $1 billion capitalization is 1,000 million, not the number 1. The same-looking threshold can describe a very different universe if the unit is omitted.
The 2026 release notes say dividend adjustment remains the default, with an unadjusted option. Record that choice when comparing price signals across services. If you backtest a formula, inspect entry and exit timing, transaction costs and the historical universe; reproducing a screen does not establish a profitable strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to write formulas to use MarketInOut?
No. It offers regular criteria-based screening, Formula Screener and an AI Stock Screener that turns plain English into an inspectable formula. Review that formula before using its results; an AI-generated condition can still differ from the rule you intended.
How much does MarketInOut cost?
The current signup page lists USD $159 for six months, $259 for one year and $359 for two years, excluding VAT. Its FAQ says monthly memberships are unavailable. These are fixed membership periods, not lifetime access; the announced billing policy requires manual renewal.
Can MarketInOut scan intraday and customize columns?
Yes. Its FAQ limits intraday periods to the supported IEX stock universe, Forex and crypto. Formula Screener can combine periods and add result columns. Coverage and the meaning of each field still need checking for the instrument and interval selected.
What changed in MarketInOut ROC values?
The May 18, 2026 release note changed ROC from a fraction to a percentage scale. A 5% price increase is represented by 5 rather than 0.05. Review saved thresholds against the current definition before comparing a historical rule with a new result.
Can Pineify import a MarketInOut formula or export it as Pine?
Market Screener has no automatic formula translator or matrix-to-Pine export. It displays supported technical fields in collections. Full access requires sign-in and Expert or higher. Recreating a rule in another tool requires checking its data, periods and calculation conventions.
