Access the Stock Scanner from either by tapping the blue trade button and using the search bar at the top of the screen or by going to the Explore screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Explore screen the investor can tap on the Search bar at the top of the page to bring up a list of recently searched symbols. Underneath the search bar the investor should tap \u201cstock scanner\u201d to bring up the scanner. Once the GlobalTrader Stock Scanner screen is up the investor can search by any or all of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Market Cap,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Region,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last Price in USD,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price \/ Earnings or P\/E Ratio, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dividend Yield<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this example, the investor is going to search for the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mid Cap in Market
