You're missing the link. I'm very interested to give your filters a try.

There are hundreds if not thousands of different investment funds, you can't really list all of them. It's important to know where you got the data from, otherwise it's unclear what might be missing.

Sorry for no link, I updated my comment. We scrape the data from various web sources with different weights and then aggregate the data together. Most fund viewers have this unclear and messy filters and we really tried to solve that. All feedback is welcome!

Good idea to resubmit in a few days. Looks like a lot of work went into this, but you blew time window you had for upvotes with the error.

It's a cool project and the list is already quite good. However I have some remarks.

First of all I find the UI a bit confusing. Especially the plain number fields, it's not obvious that they mean "at least this value".

The are some funds missing from the list. For example try Direxion funds, without any other filters the list shows 25 results. You're missing all their "bear" funds and some more - just their 3x leveraged offering has more than 25 funds. Check their website: http://www.direxioninvestments.com/

The filtering is a bit weak too. Expense ratio, how they pay dividend, etc. is important too. Also I'd like to select multiple currencies at the same time. YTD and custom date period performance would be nice.
