    .where(StockField.MARKET_CAPITALIZATION.gt(2e9))
    .select(
      StockField.NAME,
      StockField.PRICE,
      StockField.REVENUE_TTM_YOY_GROWTH,
      StockField.CHANGE_PERCENT
    )
    .sortBy(StockField.REVENUE_TTM_YOY_GROWTH, false)
    .setRange(0, 20);

  for await (const data of screener.stream({ interval: 60000 })) {
    if (data) {
      console.clear();
      console.log('=== Growth Stocks Monitor ===');
      console.log(`Updated: ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}\n`);

      data.data.forEach((stock, i) => {
        const change = stock.change_abs > 0 ? `+${stock.change_abs}%` : `${stock.change_abs}%`;
        console.log(
          `${i + 1}. ${stock.name.padEnd(30)} ` +
          `$${stock.close.toFixed(2).padStart(8)} ` +
          `Growth: ${stock.revenue_ttm_yoy_growth}% ` +
          `Today: ${change}`
        );
      });
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

Balance Growth & Valuation: Use PEG ratio and P/FCF to avoid overpaying
Quality Matters: Focus on ROE, ROIC, and operating margins
Cash Flow Focus: Free cash flow growth is more sustainable than earnings growth
Margin Expansion: Look for improving operating and net margins
Financial Health: Check debt-to-equity and current ratios
Size Considerations: Different market caps have different risk/reward profiles
Efficiency Metrics: Use ROE, ROA, ROIC, and asset turnover to find efficient growers
Revenue Quality: Focus on companies with strong revenue bases and healthy margins
