+#### Filtering
+Mop has an realtime expression-based filtering engine that is very easy to use.
+
+At the main screen, press `f` and a prompt will appear. Now you can
+a expression that uses the stock properties.
+
+Example:
+
+```last <= 5```
+
+This expression will make Mop show only stocks whose `last` values are less than $5.
+
+The available properties are: `last`, `change`, `changePercent`, `open`, `low`, `high`, `low52`, `high52`, `volume`, `avgVolume`, `pe`, `peX`, `dividend`, `yield`, `mktCap`, `mktCapX` and `advancing`.
+
+The expression **must** return a boolean value, otherwise it will fail.
+
+For detailed information about the syntax, please refer to [Knetic/govaluate#what-operators-and-types-does-this-support](https://github.com/Knetic/govaluate#what-operators-and-types-does-this-support).
+
+To clear the filter, press `Shift+F`.
