Quote from cashonly:

There are a lot of stock screeners out there that allow you to find stocks based on their current indicators for TODAY. One I like is Finviz:
http://finviz.com/screener.ashx

But what I'm looking for is a stock screener like this that I can put in a date in the past and run a screen based on technical indicators on that date. Basically, a "Historical Snapshot".

Does anyone know of such a screener? (free if possible, but paid if not).

TIA,

Cash

with a 12 peroid MA.[In this example =12 months=12 period moving average is quite helpful...]

barchart.com
workes well, free ;
even though like IB charts , volume, can be inaccurate

When it comes to fundamental data, this is not a safe assumption; Fundamental data are notoriously difficult to manage in terms of point-in-time vs revised; I don't think you can trust a free or low cost provider. There's a lot of man hour that goes into making these things right.


Quote from iqfox:

Yes fundamental data comes with delay but it does not make a problem because backtester would run on the data available on a date in the past. No differences between backtest and real trade here. By today you also have delayed data but can analyze it. If it's retroactively changed, you use updated values, etc. Backtester knows when "data was available" and do not "look in future"

Concur 100%.

I would add that even many of the high-cost providers have difficulty with this.
