I agree with Kent.  If you're starting from the ground up learning to
program, VB is much simpler and more comprehensible than C/C++.  Another
viable option is Borland Delphi, which is based on Pascal.  Easy Language
uses a Pascal-like syntax so Delphi should be easy to adapt to.  Delphi.net
will be released soon, too :)

If you don't already know C/C++, don't learn it to write your own trading
systems.  Go with Visual Basic if you must code all your own stuff.  The new
VB.Net stuff is good.

Obviously, there are a lot of things Tradestation/EasyLanguage cannot do.
(Ex. You are following 2 markets, trade Market X if you are up 2% on Market
Y).  So I've decided to learn how program in C/C++.

Now that I've started learning and started to grasp the whole programming,
I've realized how much more I can do toward creating a system.  It's fun
trying to improve your system and trading, simply I'm a system developing
junky and thinking of career change.  I'm wondering if there any trading
system programmer in O-list and how you got started.  Also, how much skill
you need to be, to start.

Thanks in advance.
