How to begin coding your strategy?

Hey traders, I'm now thinking about coding my strategy but I know nothing about it. Where to find info for algotrading beginners? The prop firm I trade with provides a tool to code in Multicharts and make this robot work in Sterling Trader, so I'm specifically interested in sources that can help me to get started with coding in Multicharts
 
Multicharts and Tradestation both use easy language or EL. I was hoping somebody will enlighten us whether strategies are interchangeable between the two platforms.

If it is, you will find a ton of resources from the Tradestation forum.

This is precisely why we don’t state that MultiCharts is 100% compatible with TradeStation’s EasyLanguage code.

Our team conducted precise automatic testing on more than 2,000 EasyLanguage indicators and strategies, and we scanned for any possible issues. Up to 99% of your EasyLanguage strategies and indicators will work without any changes, and your existing studies will get compiled. The code will even produce the same results that you see in TradeStation.

It’s important to note that complete compatibility is not possible because languages evolve and change over time. Even TradeStation itself does not provide full compatibility with its own code. EasyLanguage experts are well aware that identical code can produce varying results in different version of TradeStation.

Easy language confused the heck out of me at first, but once I studied the tradestation easy language manual I got some usable programs made right away. The best ones were around 10 lines of code.
