I understand GTR1's backtesting is only available through 11/28/25.
Does that mean the Screener is non-functional? I would have assumed so, but selections have not appeared to me to be static since then.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Assuming the screening function is gone, is there another source of picks for the S&P500_Mo_LowPrice screen? It was part of my work-around for getting to Liquid_Cons picks without SIPRO access.

I would be surprised to see GTR1 picks changing. I checked one screen's picks for 20251128, and they did not change from a few months ago. I recorded about 10 more screens' picks and will check in a week for changes, but don't expect any.

For new picks, P123 is $25 a month. Your broker might have a stock screener. A python script is another alternative.

GTR1 and P123 {S5MoLowPrice26a} pick the same stocks on 20251128: WBD, NEM, APH, HOOD, WDC

P123 {S5MoLowPrice26a} picks on 20250402:

Ticker   Last    @P19
 SATS   120.60  110.85
  ALB   178.47  163.52
 COHR   247.80  253.87
  WDC   297.73  259.03
 CIEN   415.39  299.30

GTR1 Define {S5MoLowPrice26a}
sp500.a = 1
dspo(1) >= 200
tr(6,195) top 10
aprc(20) bottom 5
https://gtr1.net/2013/?~S5MoLowPrice26a:h19f0.1::s...

P123 {S5MoLowPrice26a}
Universe(SP500)
Close(200) > 0
FOrder("Ret%Chg(195,5)", #Previous) <= 10
FOrder("Price", #Previous, #ASC) <= 5

A correction:

{S5MoLowPrice26a}
Universe(SP500)
Close(200) > 0
FOrder("Ret%Chg(195,5)", #Previous) <= 10
ShowVar(@P19, Close(19))
FOrder("Close(19)", #Previous, #ASC) <= 5

Google Sheets might work, but sounds involved: download prices for 500 stocks and process.
python yfinance does not seem to work, but Tiingo API works.
Tiingo also has a screener, but I haven't tried it.

That second link is a great hunting ground for a Relative Strength screen. I also add "Analyst Recom: Buy or better". Because, why not?

Indexes Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500 or Russell 2000. Or "any" from database of 11,000 stocks.

Or, heck, instead of Index, filter by Mkt Cap (mid or better), Recom: Buy/better, EPS growth, Sales growth.

Any thoughts on Vinviz ETF screen for 1. Beat SP500 2.Not Crypto 3. Med-large market cap. Looks like most of ETF screening is "Elite Only" ie; paid subscription.

Went back and checked and you are correct - no changes, which makes much more sense.
