There are some factors which you have to include like, how much you want to invest, initial capital and learn process, how seriously treat trading, what do you want to do after 3 years from now. There are free and paid programs, don’t expect that a free program will do the same work as paid at the same time.
I want to create my own EA but am new to programming.
There are people that have master’s degrees and phds in computer science and physics and they get beat down like dogs trying to develop a trading bot.
If you want to learn trading programming, then you could try one of the most basic exercises there is in trading… Try to write the code for a custom moving average and put that on your chart.
That is the very beginning steps for a trading systems programmer.
You can use mt4/mt5, but creating EA is the easiest task in whole building process 
What part is hardest?
I call this “stress tests”. You will “stress” your strategy in case of different market situations like slippage, your strategy should be profitable even slippage will be existing in real market.
