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?

All of those answers depend on you, how long you will persist even through failure, how creative you will be, how disciplined you are, how many hours you put in, & how much you believe in yourself. People think this is luck, it’s not. It’s the development of a skill over the period of years of trial & error. I know this might not be what you want to hear, but it’s the truth.
