TradingView Bond Screener: simplify your fixed-income research
Bond Screener can help you compare and analyze government and corporate bonds based on your unique criteria. Bonds are usually more predictable and often less volatile than stocks and many other financial instruments. However, the level of risk depends on various factors: the bond’s issue characteristics, external macroeconomic conditions, the issuer’s financial health, and other factors. With the Bond Screener, you can select instruments that match your risk preferences and investment goals.

What is the Bond Screener
The Bond Screener is a financial analysis tool that allows you to filter different bonds by various metrics such as maturity date, issuer, coupon, and others.
Including bonds in a portfolio can help reduce volatility and make portfolio management more predictable through diversification across asset classes. Keep in mind that bonds are not risk-free: their resilience depends on the issuer and the terms of the issue. Even sovereign bonds of countries with high credit ratings (compared with bonds with lower credit ratings) are still exposed to macroeconomic conditions and interest rate changes.
How to access the Bond Screener
From the main page, click the "Products" dropdown, hover over Screeners, and click "Bonds."
Another way is via Supercharts. On the right toolbar, click "Products" → "Screeners." At the top, click "Stock Screener" → "Bond Screener."
Regardless of the page you access it from, these are the same screeners with identical functionality — so pick the one you prefer.
