Coding question

[justatrader912]

I'm interested in learning more about how indicators work and how to program them. I know nothing about coding. So, lets say I want to learn how to create my own indicator. What language would I need to start with? From what I can gather C+ but I'm so noob I don't know what I don't know. I trade mainly the 4 hour time-frame and need something to keep my brain occupied between trades. Any input would be nice but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks in advance.
