IBKR trading bot development

We build automated trading bots for Interactive Brokers in Python. You give us the strategy, we deliver a tested bot with risk controls and full source code.

Is this you?

You have a strategy that works, but you can't watch the market all day to execute it.

You started building with the IBKR API yourself and got stuck on connections, order handling or errors.

You want stocks, options or futures trades placed automatically with proper position sizing.

What we build

  • Bots for stocks, options, futures and forex on IBKR
  • Entry and exit logic from your written rules or indicators
  • Bracket orders, stop losses, trailing stops and OCA groups
  • Position sizing by fixed amount, percentage or risk per trade
  • Scanners and alerts sent to Discord, Telegram or email
  • Paper account testing before going live
  • Deployment on a VPS with auto restart
  • Full source code and a walkthrough call

How we work

1

Strategy review

Send your rules, Pine Script or existing code. We confirm what's buildable and flag risks.

2

Fixed quote and spec

You get a clear scope, price and timeline before any work starts.

3

Build and backtest

We build, test on paper or historical data, and share progress.

4

Deploy and hand over

Live deployment on your account or VPS, full source code and a walkthrough call.

Built on the tools IBKR traders actually use

We work with the TWS API and IB Gateway, using Python libraries like ib_insync and ib_async. Every bot handles the things that break most IBKR projects: disconnects and reconnects, daily Gateway restarts, market data subscriptions, order status tracking and partial fills. Bots are tested on your paper account first, then moved to live with the same code.

SPY Intraday Execution Engine

Needed fully automated SPY intraday execution with layered risk controls, not a signal bot that still requires a human to click buy.

An asyncio producer/consumer engine on the raw IBKR TWS API — decoupled tick ingestion and order execution, OCO entries, staged stop-loss/take-profit logic, automatic reversal on stop-out, and hard daily-loss and time-based flatten rules.

Python · asyncio · Interactive Brokers TWS API (EWrapper/EClient)

Runs unattended with hard PnL stops, trailing take-profit tiers, and a forced end-of-day flatten — no manual intervention required.

Most IBKR bots cost $500 to $3,000 and take 1 to 3 weeks, depending on strategy complexity.

Frequently asked questions

No. We deploy the bot on a VPS with IB Gateway, so it runs 24/7 and restarts automatically if the connection drops.

Yes. Every bot runs on your IBKR paper account first. We only switch to live once you've reviewed the results.

Anything your IBKR account has permissions and market data for: stocks, options, futures and forex.

Yes. You receive the full Python source code, a setup guide and a walkthrough call.

Your strategy rules in plain words, or existing code or Pine Script if you have it. We review it and send a fixed quote.
