Implementation of investment strategy through algorithm

[nilu]

hello guys,
I want to implement a investment strategy in which i need to fetch data from couple of websites to implement it. could you please suggest me appropriate language to execute it. (i am just familiar with oracle UTL HTTP package) but i am facing some problem to implement it because it takes the URL to fetch data but the required webpages is not changing according to URL( it has the same URL in whole website).

Thanks in advance!

If you do not have any prior programming experience, depending on your taste, you could choose betwen R/Matlab/Python. They do have very good analysis & back testing apis .VBA Excel is easy to learn for beginners but limited in the functionalities provided.

Most importantly, these days, data providers themselves give you nice interface to R,Matlab. You can download all sorts of datasets you want, using just couple of lines of code. You could start exploring these options, like me.

My 2 cents.
