Exactly what the subject suggests... I'd like to get the time/date so that I can have a timed sell without having a variable increment through the whole process. I currently store the amount of shares like this: sharesAmount = context.portfolio.positions[stock].amount . Hopefully that helps you understand how I've currently got my algo set up. I'm still just learning a lot here, about a week into python and algo programming so forgive me if this seems a little rough. Thanks, looking forward to the replies!
