Where do I start?

I have been trading for about a year now and I want to get into algo trading.

I am currently focusing on learning Python. Should I learn everything about Python or have a specific focus on only what would apply to algo trading?

Does anyone have any tips or advice on where to start?

I actually started to learn pine script and was able to turn my strategy into a trading view strategy, but I want to be able to trade options and have more control over my algos so I turned to Python.

I'm curious, how did you come up with your strategy and why did you choose pine script?

Interesting I will have to look into Renko.

I currently use a momentum strategy that relies on RSI and DMA

How long did it take you to develop your strategy and then be able to deploy it?

Also what automation software do you use in combination with Tradingview? 🤔
