Use Rapunzl's Stock Scanner To Find Stocks That Fit Your Rules

Our Stock Scanner narrows the field of 8,000+ US equities with 60+ filters covering company fundamentals and technical indicators.

Illustration: as four filters switch on, the list of matching companies shrinks from thousands to a few dozen.

Filter Thousands of Stocks in 4 Steps

Rapunzl provides students with prebuilt ideas and the ability to customize from a library of filters. Each filter includes a simple explanation and diagram, allowing students to learn while they create scans.

  1. Pick An Idea

    Start from one of 34 ready-made ideas, like "Bargain hunters" or "Fast growers". Each one comes with a few words describing the list and filters that power it.

  2. Change The Filters

    Every filter asks one question, such as "Is the company profitable?" Switch filters on, pair them together, and create customized lists that align specifically to your rules.

  3. Discover Your Matches

    Every result shows which filters it passed. This allows students to see the reason behind a list and identify trends such as clusters of companies from a certain industry.

  4. Research Deeper

    Access company financials, news, customizable stock charts, and in-depth research for every company connected to your scan, providing a jumping off point for further research.

Use 30+ Prebuilt Ideas To Discover Companies Faster

Rapunzl's prebuilt ideas provide a jumping off point for students with a set of filters that match common lists such as "Fastest Growers" or "Undervalued Blue Chips". Each idea includes a short explanation and can be customized with additional filters.

  • Biggest gainers today

    Company stocks that have gone up the most in price today, biggest gain first.

  • Biggest drops today

    Company stocks that have dropped the most in price today, biggest drop first.

  • Everyone's trading these

    Company stocks with the most shares bought and sold today.

  • Jumped at the open

  • At or near a yearly high

    Companies worth $2B or more that trade within 2% of their highest price of the past year.

Three Ways To Use Rapunzl's Scanner with Your Class or Child

  1. Research a Blue Chip

    Run "Household names" to list big, well-known companies. Each student picks one they already know, reads why it matched and explains what makes a company a blue chip.

  2. Hunt for High Growth

    Run "Fast growers" to find companies whose sales and profit jumped in the past year. Students compare one with a blue chip and explain why fast growers often cost more for each dollar of profit.

  3. Build Your Own Scan

    Start from scratch with three filters: P/E ratio, profit margin and debt. Students set their own limits, defend each number and watch how one change reshapes the list.

Create Scans with 60+ filters across fundamentals and technical indicators

Filter for companies by market cap, profitability, and much more by either leveraging Rapunzl's prebuilt ideas or creating your own scan using company fundamentals taken directly from SEC filings and technical indicators updated every night.

Simplified Language?Students can turn on Simple language in the scanner's settings. It swaps the jargon for everyday words, so "RSI" reads as "Oversold or overbought" and "P/E" as "Price-to-earnings", and gathers the everyday filters into picture tiles.

Give Students Research Tools Used on Wall Street

The scanner gives families something to look at together. Pick an idea, read why each company matched and ask what the numbers say and what they leave out.

Nothing in it uses real money. The simulator runs on virtual cash, and every filter comes with a plain-words explanation, so a parent does not need to be an expert to join in.

  • Every filter explained in plain words
  • Save up to 20 screens to revisit together
  • 34 ready-made ideas to start a conversation
  • Virtual cash only, never real money

Research first, then practice with virtual cash

Rapunzl students invest a simulated $10,000, and the scanner sits beside that practice. Find a company that fits your rules, read its chart with the AI tutor, then decide how it would fit into a simulated portfolio.

Asking "why?" before a trade is the habit, and the money stays virtual.
