Helmbeam vs Interactive Brokers: which one do you use first?
Interactive Brokers provides access to stocks, futures, foreign exchange, bonds and other markets, along with advanced order types and research tools.
With Helmbeam, our stock-research app, you can examine company evidence alongside the tools you already use. Try a familiar company and check whether you can explain a figure or return to an unanswered question more easily.
Examine the company behind a screen
Our five lenses cover business progress, earnings, financial resilience, shareholder effects and price context. Follow a company if you want to revisit those observations.
Every stock is a research opportunity; active setups are the subset whose current structure qualifies. Your brokerage access and trading decisions remain separate.
Compare candidates from different starting points
If you use a screen in Interactive Brokers, record the conditions it applies. A screen based on price momentum and a review of operating results may surface different companies.
Browse our Discover feed, open a candidate and examine Numbers. Compare that operating record with the reason a company appeared in your own screen.
If the two approaches disagree, identify the measure or period causing the difference. Use the company disclosure to investigate it.
