I have no knowledge of coding but I want to learn
I have only one thing I need to learn for, I want it to help me analyse forex data (backtesting)
so I need to make a program that can take data from metatrader5 and turn it into giant spreadsheets in a txt document I can convert to excel to determine how effective certain strategies are
I know I can do this manually but the main problems are a) I will not be very accurate and b) it will take literally thousands of hours to fully backtest everything I need to
in the distant future once this is complete maybe I can make a program that will make orders for me with my money based on the rules I set derived from the results of my tests
mt5 looks to be made with a specialised version of C++, so based on that fact alone I have started learning the basics of C++ but I realised I should probably ask some people who know more about this to make sure i'm not wasting my time
the question: which coding language? and the fastest way to learn, to achieve this task?

Checked and thank you for using an anime image.

Lisp is the most powerful programming language.

There are books about making trading systems and you should read them if you want to have any hope of success given your starting point.

If you're only writing a program to achieve one specific end, that you expect to make a return on anyway, you should just pay someone else to do it.
