"description": "Live risk-adjusted-return analytics computed on demand from a return or price series. The sharpe endpoint returns the Sharpe ratio and annualised return and volatility; the sortino endpoint returns the Sortino ratio using downside deviation; the volatility endpoint returns periodic and annualised volatility, downside deviation and semivariance; the var endpoint returns historical and parametric Value-at-Risk plus Conditional VaR (Expected Shortfall) at a chosen confidence level. Computed live from your input, nothing stored — works for any market (forex, stocks, crypto, funds). A risk-statistics engine, distinct from price feeds, technical-indicator tools and option-pricing tools.",
