QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello! I am new to Quantconnect. I am having trouble with my code. I want to get a future datetime object 2 weeks in the future. This is what I have.
self.time_in_two_weeks = self.Time.day + 14
However this doesn’t work. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you very much.

Hey Aliaksei,
day/minute/hour/etc. only gives you a number(ex. 20). If you add a number to it, it will just add to that number(20+1). If you want a datetime object you can use self.Time. This will return the following: datetime.datetime(2019, 8, 23, 11, 1).
To add days to the current date you can do the following:
Hope it helps ;)
