It seems like you're trying to import a module named 'selfImports' in your algorithm, but Python can't find it. This could be due to a few reasons:
The module 'selfImports' does not exist in your project. Make sure that you have a Python file named 'selfImports.py' in your project directory.
The module 'selfImports' is not in the same directory as your main Python file. If 'selfImports.py' is in a different directory, you need to specify the correct path when importing it.
There might be an issue with the naming. Python module names should follow certain conventions. They should be all lowercase and can include underscores.
If 'selfImports' is a custom module that contains your imports, you might want to consider using the standard import statement provided by QuantConnect. According to the discussions in the QuantConnect forum, you should add the following line at the top of your algorithm:
This line imports all the necessary modules for your algorithm. If you need additional modules, you can import them separately.
Please check your code and make sure that the 'selfImports' module exists and is in the correct location. If the problem persists, you might want to consider asking for help in the QuantConnect forum.
