If you like it, keep doing it. More likely to have success if you enjoy it versus someone trying to find oil. And, even if you don't start a new career, at least you've got a new hobby (and as an EE - is it a skill that could help you in your current career? Like tasks at work that could be automated, or create software for your company for EE related stuff?)

Yes, 18 months of studying is actually too long if you are serious about studying. You can be job ready in under a year, but I would honestly start applying after 6 months. Expect rejections but that is a part of the process; once you get your first job and some experience a lot of doors open for you.

This is all of course depending on what you want to do. If you're trying to become an embedded engineer, or trying to write ML algorithms with no masters/Ph.d, forget it jeffrey. Having a degree in EE also helps more than you might think, because it tells recruiters you are smart (although still a miscer so definitely autistic).

been coding for fun about two years now. The language that stuck to me is Pascal (Delphi/Lazarus and FPC). I honestly can’t see me enjoying code writing if it was for a living. But as a hobby, code writing is a blast.

Fook brah. I made an adventure game in Delphi back in the Windows 95 days(srs). Borland made some great stuff back then. Had no idea it was still around.

I drifted to Delphi from Dot Net and C#. C# is fun too, but certain things implemented better in Delphi. Delphi is very well around and continually updated. Bit expensive, kind of boutique development environment. Made a few finished applications for my engineering work. Like I said, Pascal is my gig. We dug grave for Fortran but the fkn thing wouldn’t die either.

didn't watch the video but the title sounds like a get rich quick scheme. maybe it's a great video but i'm skeptical of shortcuts to success

Miring 5-10k a month trading.

What you are trying to do is not that difficult. ie let your computer buy at this and sell at that given a set of conditions without you watching 24h.

The website that you use for trading will have an API (Application programming interface). your pc passes it commands and the website will do so. Search for your website API for a good read.
Having said that it would be a very very bad idea to try it as a beginner. New programmers will always make mistakes. You dont want that to cost you money.
So what you should do is implement this algorithm ideas on something simple to use for fun and practice.

Approach 1: What you can do is buy an arduino uno and a light sensor (<$10).
Point the sensor at a tree and that will generate your random trading data.
Do your trading algorithm using if then + / - etc.
Send data and results to a graph and see how it is doing.
Search this: arduino read light sensor, arduino usb port write, arduino multiple graphs.

Approach 2. Use something like Octave(free open sorce) or Matlab read historical trading data. You can download files. Matlab and Octave are almost the same syntax. Very similar to use.
Do your algorithm in Octave see what happens.
Search this: matlab read file, matlab write to file, matlab graph.

Arduino is not really usable for trading but it has a very beginner friendly interface and easy learning curve.
To start you need a realistic project that gets you immersed and a beginner friendly programming environment. <<- This will take 1-3 days

I googled: arduino trading api, octave backtesting trading strategy

Some kunt already using an arduino for trading.

I just recently started learning programming. After all, I want to master software development in the field of finance and accounting. Therefore, I try to constantly receive up-to-date information from such useful articles asasset.accountant/blog/difference-between-asc-840-and-asc-842/in order to keep abreast of the latest developments. I believe that such platforms and programs are very useful for running a business and managing finances.
