This project is built entirely on Python, it combines other Interactive Brokers libraries written by other contributors as well as my own contribution in making algorithmic trading on Interactive Brokers possible.

• Python

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Before using this library, ensure you have Java installed and have an account with Interactive Brokers. Check out Interactive Broker Client Portal Web API for setting up. You can skip the download and unzip the CPI WebAPI step from the IB site as this step has been taken care off in the library.

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/Vincentho711/Interactive-Brokers-Trading-Bot.git

2. Navigate to the working directory

3. In the terminal, run

   python setup.py build
   

   and then

   python setup.py install
   

4. Enter your IB credentials in write_config.py and run the script

5. Open run_client.py and run the script. It will download the clientportal.gw to the working directory.

6. Using Git Bash, navigate to the clientportal.gw folder and run

   "bin/run.bat" "root/conf.yaml"
   

7. Run run_client.py in tests and the bot should be up and running.

8. Follow the instructions on run_client.py to configure your trading bot.

To use it, study the revelant libraries, namely the python objects in robot/ folder. There are also some simple instructions in the run_client.py to get you up and running quick.

See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).

This milestone will be done when

• Different signals can be attached to a ticker
