Some time ago, ayondo integrated Chat GPT into its information offering. Our development team is currently working on a Lab feature that will provide the community with AI-based financial news. The AI-FAQ section is also a lab feature designed by our innovation team. The exciting thing about it is that the social trading community can interact directly with the AI. In addition to the core function, the tool offers the possibility of evaluating the information content of the answer and at the same time suggesting the result for inclusion in the FAQ section. Feel free to give it a try, for example with this question.
Just a few weeks after its launch, the AI content section is already growing! The largest user-generated trading and investment encyclopaedia is currently being created here. Many thanks to the trading community for their commitment and positive feedback. This motivates us! Further exciting AI developments are on our developer roadmap!

In stock market trading, a gap is the difference between the closing price of the previous day and the opening price of the current trading day. If the opening price is above the closing price of the previous day, it is called an up-gap; if it is below, it is called a down-gap.
Gaps occur when there is relevant information between the end of trading on one day and the start of trading on the next day that affects the price. They can be important for traders as they can serve as an indication of a possible trend reversal or a continuation of the trend.
The Sharpe ratio is calculated by adjusting the return of an investment for the risk-free interest rate and dividing it by the volatility of the investment (measured by the standard deviation of returns). The formula is:
Sharpe Ratio = (return of the investment - risk-free interest rate) / volatility of the investment.
The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the excess return achieved by an investment compared to a risk-free investment (e.g. a money market account) per unit of risk associated with that excess return. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better an investment has performed relative to its risk.
This module is another innovation from the ayondo Lab developer series, which is in an early beta stage. The first version was launched in early March 2023, just a few days after Salesforce and Slack announced the integration of a Chat GPT beta.
