Thing is, I have almost zero experience with coding.
You get Experience from actually doing it.  Tongue
I don't just want to use someone else's code though, I want to build this from scratch, using custom and unique indicators.
There are a few Libraries around to make use of the Trading APIs.
If they work, there is no reason to not use them.
Reading and understanding someone else's code is good for learning.
Is there any resource that I could use that would teach me how to go about creating and implementing this bot?
What you need to read:
Trading API Documentation of your favorite Exchange.
"C# for Dummies" (or whatever Language you like)
Bits and pieces of Information about Programming and Trading. (Google and Wikipedia are your Friends)  Grin

I wrote a (really bad) MtGox Bot in AutoIt (dont use that Language!),
...and rewrite everything in C# now, using someones SocketIO Library.  Cool
