What problem does it solve? Operating Interactive Brokers from the command line requires installing IB Gateway or TWS, configuring API profiles, and knowing dozens of ibkr-cli commands. This Skill walks users through the entire journey — from first-time setup and connectivity checks to placing trades and pulling account reports — without assuming any prior brokerage API experience. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup & Diagnostics: Step-by-step installation of IB Gateway/TWS and ibkr-cli, profile selection (gateway-live, live, gateway-paper, paper), and connection troubleshooting with ibkr doctor. - Safe Trading Workflow: Preview-then-submit order model supporting market, limit, stop, stop-limit, trailing, and bracket orders, plus order modification and cancellation. - Market Data & Research: Quotes, historical bars, news headlines and articles, options chains with greeks, market scanners, and Reuters fundamentals. - Account & Historical Reporting: Positions, account summary, P&L, trades, transfers, and dividends via Flex Queries. - Use Case: A user says "I want to buy 10 shares of AAPL." The Skill first verifies connectivity with ibkr doctor, then runs a preview order to show margin and commission impact, and only then guides the user to submit. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check your Interactive Brokers connection and show a preview of buying 10 shares of AAPL using ibkr-cli.
