Progress towards algorithmic implementation of Kelly Criterion

The "Kelly Criterion" in quant folklore is based on the exposition and development of Kelly's work done by Edward Thorp. Acknowledging Thorp's contribution, I find the original article by Kelly conceptually more relevant to the realities of algorithmic trading as developed by ForexAutomaton. Our forecasting algorithm, as any forecasting tool, can be very naturally considered a case of the hypothetic communication channel discussed by Kelly, and the related mathematical objects, such as joint and conditional probability density distributions for the communicated "symbols" (forecasts and real quotes), are being already monitored here, despite the fact that the Kelly Criterion for capital allocation to trades remains to be coded.
