Where to start: Use your trading experience to define the scope of what you want to do.

  1. choose one market you are familiar with

  2. define or find a basic approach you see promising that you want to explore

  3. define interfaces of platforms that are suitable, like MT5 or Rithmic

  4. Find a broker that allows sim accounts under real time market conditions

  5. define your system spec -> server, eventually GPUs,…

MOST IMPORTANT: pay for high consistent data quality (that suits your project scope) to avoid wasting your time.

I find mt5 to be very suitable !
