then ignore larp above, don't bother researching how you can do this in c++ or c# as it will take you decade to write up all necessary libraries and modules by yourself, learn python if you haven't already, then pandas, numpy, scipy, statsmodels and tensorflow or pytorch
you'll need to find platform to trade it on via API and your choice of tradeable asset (fx, crypto, stocks, options on them, whatever it might be)
and using snippets available on github or from scratch like i did, develop backtesting engine to try strategies which will take into account fees, slippage and response time of your filters/algos. think about time frame and frequency of trades as often even when you trade at more than 50% success rate, fees will eat into your profits. once you find platform, developed a strat you think will do something, deploy it either in cloud of some small home server and don't try to be "fast", by yourself, you'll never be faster than all HFT outfits connected to the dark pools via optic fibre and you won't get access to trade on them anyway. binary classification strat is your best bet as neural networks are easier to train to perform on it while regressors "wobble" a lot from volatility and uncertainty in the input data
