Dear Traders,
I am now devliping EAs using MQL4, and considering to shift to FIXAPI to decrease latency caused by using MT4.
However, I do not know anything about what I should start from. I think choosing a programming language is one of the things I should do.
It seems there are several languages, such as: C, C++, C##, Java, python, R, Matlab.
I would like to know which I should learn if I pick one.
For that, I think I need consider some aspects as below:
1) coding efficiency
2) speed
3) versatility (in trading use)
4) 3rd party community : forum, library etc.
5) back testing environment
6) cost (time) of learning
I need speed, and would like to compete with professional quants hedgefunds on the same play ground.
However, super speed strategies such as latency arbitrage is out of scope so far.
Would like to hear your opinion. Thank you.

Yes, I am a scalper but I do my live trading manually; I have no knowledge on EA trading! So, I don’t know the language pattern that you want! I see, scalping is the most popular trading style; since here traders can use small trading SL point here, so retail traders mostly use scalping trading style!

Even if you move to FIXAPI then the latency might still be too large for HFT.
