- b20000 5y agoI doubt that it is used for actual trading. Maybe the OP can elaborate what the live infrastructure and backtesting setup look like?
- mirekrusin 5y agoOf course they use it for trading and everything around for many years.
- b20000 5y agocool, so how about the OP shares the details of how they use it for trading?
- jdnier 5y agoThat's largely what their excellent Signals & Threads podcast is about. https://signalsandthreads.com/ https://signalsandthreads.com/ > Listen in on Jane Street’s Ron Minsky as he has conversations with engineers working on everything from clock synchronization to reliable multicast, build systems to reconfigurable hardware. Get a peek at how Jane Street approaches problems, and how those ideas relate to tech more broadly.
- shaklee3 5y agothey use it for the control plane. it's clearly not used for actually submitting trades.
- throw20220422 5y agoDo you mean this tool, or OCaml? They are definitely writing their actual trading systems in OCaml, they have been publicizing this for many years.
- b20000 5y agothat is what i thought. the actual trading code is probably in c or c++ or is in an fpga being controlled by the trading code.
- DonaldPShimoda 5y ago> I doubt that it is used for actual trading. Do you have a basis for that claim? JS have developed tons of libraries and tools for OCaml development, and new developers and quants that they hire go through an OCaml bootcamp to come up to speed. They put lots of work into the OCaml compiler, and in blog posts about that work they talk about why this is useful for trading. Maybe I'm missing something crucial, but I think it's more likely that you just don't know what you're talking about.
