For most algorithmic trading bots, Python is the recommended choice due to its ease of use, extensive libraries, and large community. However, if you're building a high-frequency trading bot where speed is paramount, C++ might be the better option.

I personally use python, it's way easier to operate with. C++ could be better for using more data, but I personally don't really need that and I perform better with python, that's why I suggest it

Forget suggesting, start doing. What's one tiny action you can take *right now* that moves you closer to your goal?
