Robinhood Stock Screener: Classic Screeners and Legend Scanner
Robinhood has saved screeners in its app and web classic, plus a separate Scanner widget in Legend. Compare the interface you actually use, then decide whether a separate technical collection adds information you need.

Feature Comparison

Independent Research Workflow
Keep Monitoring Separate from Order Submission
First check whether Robinhood already supplies the needed fields. A second scanner is useful only when its different readings help answer a defined research question.
Step 1: Inspect a Technical Collection
Add supported listings to a Pineify collection, choose available fields and set the interval. Match exchange and session with your Robinhood view. The visible active collection refreshes every 60 seconds; this does not establish a trade edge or guarantee fresh data for every row.
Step 2: Review Any Order Separately
If you decide to trade, open Robinhood independently and check the exact security, quantity, session, order type and estimated costs. Pineify does not transfer an order. A limit order may remain unfilled; a stop order does not guarantee its trigger price as the execution price.
Refresh Frequency Does Not Set the Indicator Period
Imagine a daily RSI calculated from the same closed daily candles. Refreshing its display every 30 seconds does not turn it into a 30-second RSI. Conversely, a developing candle can change an indicator between refreshes. Record the calculation interval and bar status separately from the refresh setting when comparing two tools.
Two Different Volume Comparisons
Robinhood classic describes average volume as a 30-day daily average. In a hypothetical example, 500,000 shares traded so far against a 1,000,000 full-day average gives a raw ratio of 0.5. That does not show whether activity is unusual for the current time of day. A same-time historical benchmark could give a different answer; inspect the definition rather than treating every relative-volume label as interchangeable.
Commission-Free Does Not Mean Cost-Free
Robinhood's US fee page distinguishes stock and ETF commissions from regulatory, exchange and other fees. Index options, futures and professional-customer options have separate charges. Spreads and execution prices also affect the trade. Check the schedule for your country, product and account classification; this comparison does not promise free execution across every asset.
Official US sources checked October 20, 2026: classic stock screeners, Legend Scanner settings and trading fees. No logged-in Robinhood account or order was tested. Pineify is independent of Robinhood; see Pineify plan access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Robinhood have more than one screening interface?
Yes. The app and web classic have saved stock screeners with multiple selectable filters. Robinhood Legend has a separate Scanner widget with technical, fundamental, options-related, price and volume filters.
Can Robinhood combine technical filters?
Legend documents over 60 filters, including RSI, EMA, Bollinger Bands and relative volume, and allows more than one filter. The claim that Robinhood only supports one basic criterion is inaccurate. Check the available settings for your asset and interface.
How often does Legend Scanner refresh?
Its documented default is every five minutes. Scanner settings also offer every 30 seconds or no automatic refresh, and a manual refresh control is available. A refresh interval is distinct from the time period used to calculate an indicator.
Does Pineify sync a Robinhood watchlist?
There is no verified Robinhood account connection or automatic watchlist sync in the Market Screener. Add supported listings separately. Pineify allows up to 15 collections, 100 symbols per collection and 20 indicator columns; full readings require Expert or higher.
Does a screening result place an order?
No. Pineify does not send Robinhood orders. A row in either scanner is an observation, not a fill or a profit estimate. Review the broker order, account permissions and applicable costs separately. Pineify is independent of Robinhood.
Inspect a Separate Technical Watchlist
Compare supported technical readings with Expert or higher. Check access and coverage before adding another research tool.
