How do I screen for XYZ characteristics - Beginner's Guide?

As it can be a bit daunting to starting using advanced Fintel’s tools such as the Workbench screener, a first good step is to replace your preferred screening criteria on the sample screen found at https://fintel.io/wb:
/*
*Sample query with basic examples
*/
country = US;
exchange != OTC;
// mid cap
MarketCap > 100M and MarketCap < 3b;
// above the trend line and above a dollar
Price>1;
price > ema({20d});
// a simple valuation metric
( Assets-Liabilities ) * 2.0 > MarketCap;
The easiest way to screen for your criteria is to choose terms from the dictionary at https://fintel.io/screenerTerms and replace them following the same format as the sample screen. In this case, I took bearish pressure screening criteria to create an example below:
/*
*Sample bearish pressure query
*/
country = US;
exchange != OTC;
// Short Squeeze Score
ShortSqueezeScore > 70;
// Short Interest and Days to Cover
ShortInterestPercentFloat>30;
ShortInterestRatio > 1;
// ShortBorrowRate
ShortBorrowRate > 2;
