I need you guys' help.
As mentioned earlier in one of my rants, I trade stocks part time, make a little money. But I am too tired from my full time work. So it is badly affecting my health. My broker is providing us with an API and docs at a monthly fee to develop software to automate trades.
I posted a job on Upwork, a few freelancers bid but their price was way beyond my budget.
Hence I decided to take up programming.

I was initially inclined towards C#, but seeing as how complex it is, I was thinking of going for python. Do you think it is a reasonable decision?

    I am also trading in my free time, and in the process of automating it. What kind of stocks are you trading? Also, on github there's a ton of open-source projects available already. The only thing is, there's a lot of jargon involved. How experienced are you in the whole trading business?

    @theScientist I know that python is widely used. I wanted to know if choosing python as first language is okay, because learning java, c# , etc would teach a lot about OOP and much more.

    @Letmecode thanks . The brokers API supports python, c#, java, php, node.js... but not elixir.
    Guess I'll go with python

    I personally enjoy using F#. It can use the same libraries as C# but is a functional language, which can be good for data processing stuff like this.
