Algo for scalping ES/MES

Noob question probably… but is there anyone here that has had some degree of success scalping ES with an Algo?

I am trying to get my head around QuantConnect and connecting it to IB.

I am not that sophisticated, hence most strategies are simple automation of MAs/Oscillators combinations to get more prompt entries and exits. Often simplicity pays more than super complicated rules, but timely execution is key in this process.

Before I spend the next two months learning Python, I'd like to have a sense of what are the odds for such a proposition.
