<![CDATA[setting up tradingview screener for forex - useful or too much noise]]>tried setting up the tradingview screener for forex pairs but it feels like it's generating so many signals across so many pairs that i can't process it. wondering whether screener makes sense for forex specifically or if it's more useful for equities where you're scanning a large universe.

how do people use the screener productively in forex without drowning in false signals?
