Introduction
I have a serious interest in finance, technical analysis, and trading system development. The software on the market doesn't do what I want it to, so I'm going to write my own.
What do you want to do at these meetups?

Some help learning how to create data structures, efficient algorithms.

What kind of programs do you like to create?

Working on pattern recognition/trading rules for market data. Have some ideas on how to do it, but guidance would be a big help!

What do consider the best languages and why?

C--been around the longest, ports anywhere, and small (compared to c++) LISP--Lots of stats/scientific software uses functional programming for data analysis Perl--huge archive of code with CPAN.

When and why did you start programming?

On and off for a few years, mostly with some VB script. Now working on C, and the stat language R. Want to pick up Perl and Common LISP, though.

What languages and tools do you use?

Right now, C, with gcc. Played with perl a little bit as well. Wrote some calendar functions in VBscript.
