How do I get started with algorithmic trading as a beginner programmer?

Programming programming finance algorithmic trading

AI Summary

I've been learning to code for about a year now, and I'm getting really interested in finance and trading. I've heard of algorithmic trading and how it can help automate trades, but I have no idea where to start. I've been reading about different programming languages and libraries that are used in trading, such as Python and pandas, but I'm not sure which ones to focus on.

I've also been looking into different trading platforms and APIs, such as Robinhood and Alpaca, but I'm not sure which ones are best for beginners. I've got a basic understanding of programming concepts, but I've never worked with financial data before, so I'm a bit lost. I'm hoping to start with some simple trading strategies and build from there.

Can anyone recommend some good resources for learning algorithmic trading as a beginner? Are there any specific programming languages or libraries that I should focus on, and are there any trading platforms or APIs that are particularly well-suited for beginners? I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance that more experienced traders and programmers can offer.
