algorithmic trading

Don't have any knowledge about programing language. How can become algo trader. Develop algo for ourself.

I have recently decided I will develop my own bot/EA for me.
So I have to learn programming.

I have did little research on internet-
I have found That C# is easy to learn language. ctrader & Ninjatrader Both support C# for programming.
I have tried to learn MQL in the past, I lost my interest because MQL is little confusing for me since I did not get any good video tutorial for that.
I come to know C++ is very similar to MQL programming.

I started watching C# video tutorial, after learning C# I could have little knowledge about programing. on the basis of that little knowledge I will try to grow more.
Experts EA or cbot creators can give me some suggestions.
Thanks.

I’d be happy to shoot some ideas back and forth.

Learn Python and get familiar with pandas if you want to code an algo. You can interact with MT5 via python.

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/

for automated trading far better is MetaTrader because have large coding examples/libraries and "how to"s available

think about optimization/backtesting also... not only code an EA but how you will optimize/backtest/forwardtest that EA. for that MT4 is bad but MT5 is good. dont know how good for optimization is cTrader or ninja..

I guess it depends what you’re trying to do. If you want a simple program just write it in mql. But if you’ll be doing any complex data analytics python is the way to go

This thread and the discussion around it was an eye-opener for me. I didn't know that python can be integrated into mt5.
That is why I'd like to recommend the thread runner to turn to mt5 and python for lots of different reasons. Firstly, python is plain and intuitively clear programming language. Its key advantage is the fact that it doesn'r require any ambiguous and huge writings. While C# requires several decades of line of code to write some simple program, python can do with only a couple of lines which is really awesome especially if you don't have any programming background. Secondly, there are lots of tutorials about python which are available online. It is very important to have many sources of information available in order to get a clear cut idea of how to program. Thirdly, python has lots of libararies which were made for different purposes, so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel for every problem that you have, as this or that library already has the functions which are needed. Finally, python is a very flexible language which can be used practically for every purpose. So, python knowledge and skils will come in handy for you all the time.
Now, I finally regained the motivation to keep on learning python and algotrading, as I believe that algotrading is our future.

The proprietary API is somewhat painful to use (and they probably can't change it much, for compatibility), but you can easily code a "translation layer" to make it much more pleasant. I haven't tried the FIX-based API, so no comments there.
And yes, I reopened the question. I happen to think it's a fair question to ask.

How you will optimize Python coded EA? Can't find in Google anything better and for free than mt5 strategy tester. Ctrader have optimizator too but thats c#.

It is not possible to optimize Python Strategies in MT5. However, Python comes with many libraries (Backtrader, backtesting etc...) where you can perform backtests and optimization outside of MetaTrader5. It is also possible to create your own backtesting results which isn't that difficult.

The advantage is that it offers more flexibility but again, you'd have to use more of your programming knowledge.

For reference, you can check: https://kernc.github.io/backtesting.py/

@Vudokus I completely agree with you and just want to add one more advantage, that is the reduced overall costs of maintaining the trading system.

Algorithmic trading is the best strategy for traders who can’t dedicate long hours to trading. Simply set the parameters and your system will utilize automated and pre programmed trading instructions to pick all the trades that come under those parameters.
