fx strategies for someone with a full-time job

Of course, when we are working full time, not in this case we should slightly change our direction and trade relations.
 
you forgot to mention that building automated winning strategy that consistently beats market takes months if not years. But otherwise yeah, at least you will greatly improve your programming skills.

Hint: try to jump straight to asynchronous programming, web sockets, http requests (i.e. connection part). being proficient in this is already an advantage

Python.org and pandas.pydata.org.

Then you can trade all day and night while focusing on your full-time job.

Or said in another way, get the computer to trade while you work.

Most of the time, my automatic trading brings me more money than my paycheck. But if I quit my day job, I would probably override the algos and start losing money. So therefore, I stick to keeping my job

Totally agree. It will take a long time, but it does also help you structure your thoughts.

I started out making my first silly algo in 2014. Spent the next two years algo-papertrading, and went live in 2016 or so, and have been consistently profitable since. Do not know if my experience is typical, but cannot really see how I could have gotten everything up and running predictably in less than two years with a full time job on the side.... Of course it would have helped if I was a better programmer when I started out. But I still believe the trying and failing in the financial aspects of it could not really have been done any faster by most normal people?
