for a given fund to be able to specify the date you joined and perhaps how much cash or how many units you have in the fund. The percentages would then tell you how much gain or loss you made so far. (and could include reinvested distributions + further purchases as well)

It would be cool to get a percentage, or profit across a portfolio of funds.

I'm doing this already just in excel.

just tried to upload an xls file and got told invalid file.

Apart from that the graphs on this website look really great and load really quickly using ie7 running on vista 64 ultimate.

Cool - thanks for the suggestion. I'm already planning on building a complete portfolio management system - but that's a longer term plan and rather complex (and typical of my "overengineering" things )

... but in the short term, I could certainly implement something that allows you to do simple calculations pretty easily. I'll add it to the list!

How quickly and easy would it be for you to add support for "custom date to current date".

I know you use last3 in the URL to specify last 3 months. Could you add support for fromYYYYMMDD? You don't even need to add the field in the form for it - I'll just update the URL in bookmarks.

Hi samaka,

To minimise the impact on CPU and database from people doing arbitrary calculations, I pre-calculate the performance statistics for set periods, so it's not currently set up to easily add a new period in the table display routines since the calculations are done at data update time, not at display time.

I'll be adding the ability to track funds the way you want in due course.
