Ib Stop Loss
Automated stop-loss management for Interactive Brokers positions, built for diagonal spreads (PMCC), naked LEAPS, and stock. It calculates stop prices at a configurable loss threshold (default 40%), detects existing conditional orders to avoid duplicates, and places atomic combo orders that close both legs of a spread simultaneously. Dry-run by default, which is the right call for anything that cancels orphan orders. The early-warning alerts (at half your stop threshold) and short premium decay tracking are genuinely useful for active option portfolios. Requires TWS or IB Gateway running locally with API enabled. All the analytics live in testable functions separate from the broker calls, so you can verify the stop logic without connecting to IB.

IB Stop-Loss Manager
Analyzes PMCC (diagonal call spread), naked LEAPS, and stock positions in the IB portfolio and manages conditional stop-loss orders.
Default mode is dry-run — no orders are placed unless --execute is in the request.
IB Connection
TWS or IB Gateway must be running locally with API enabled:
- Paper trading — port 7497
- Live trading — port 7496
IB_PORTenv var — default port when--portis omitted (e.g.IB_PORT=4001for a Gateway container). Precedence:--portflag >IB_PORT> built-in default. Set it in the shell or a.envfile.
Port fallback: If the configured port fails, automatically retry on the other port. If the retry succeeds, save to memory which account type worked (live/paper) and reuse it for all IB skill calls in this and future sessions — until the user explicitly asks for the other account. If both ports fail, ask the user to verify that TWS or IB Gateway is running with API access enabled.
Instructions
Step 1: Run the script
Dry-run (default — no orders placed):
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-stop-loss/scripts/stop_loss.py
