chinkon Ask HN: Who's using Clojure, and to do what?

I understand your university's position ... and yours also. If they do decide to make the code publicly available, I'd appreciate a reply to this comment. I'll check back occasionally to look for updates.

Enjoying you're thesis, btw, especially the section on Bollinger bands. The Turtle Traders (http://bit.ly/by1j2M ) seemed to have used this successfully with commodities. Did you reference any of the Turtle traders stuff when you were designing your system?

chinkon Ask HN: Who's using Clojure, and to do what?

True, but Matlab has good support for distributed computing. It's even possible to do this on an EC2 cluster. Pretty impressive really: http://www.mathworks.com/programs/techkits/ec2_paper.html

Very interesting. Did you consider using R? Why did you choose Clojure for this? I've been thinking of doing something similar myself and I would love to hear your thoughts considering you've already been-there-done-that.

I'd love to read your thesis and code, if they're available.
