IB Trades History

⚠️ **Finance warning / Avertissement finance** : informational only, not investment advice. This skill reads the execution history of a REAL Interactive Brokers account: the numbers describe what already happened, commissions and realized profit and loss included, they do not predict anything, there is a real risk of loss in any trading this history feeds into, and no output here is a promise of return. Curated by Skill Harbor: the IB trades history skill of staskh/trading_skills. Use it when you ask about your trades, executions or transaction history at Interactive Brokers, filtered by account, date range or symbol. It has three data sources and the skill is honest about each one: the live API, which in practice returns only the current TWS session despite what the API documentation implies (a weekend or prior-day lookback can return zero executions and look exactly like no trades), FlexReport through the Flex Web Service for full history, and local FlexReport XML files you exported yourself, which need no TWS or Gateway at all. The output is structured JSON: connection status, source used, the filters applied, an explicit data limitation warning on the live API path, the execution list, and per-symbol aggregates of bought, sold, commission and realized profit and loss. With the spread grouping option (FlexReport sources only, because only they carry the open and close indicator) raw fills are consolidated into legs and paired into vertical spreads with credit, width, maximum risk, capture percentage and return on risk, anything that is not an unambiguous two-strike vertical is left ungrouped with a reason instead of being force-fit, and a reconciliation check asserts that spread plus ungrouped profit and loss equals the raw execution total. This skill is read-only: it fetches and reports history, it places no orders. From the staskh/trading_skills repository (MIT). Honest caveats: for anything beyond today, use FlexReport, and note that the Flex web service is aggressively rate limited (roughly one generation per query per 10 to 15 minutes), so large lookbacks are better as manual XML exports read from local files; the Flex token and query IDs are credentials, keep them in environment variables or a local env file (IB_FLEX_TOKEN, IB_FLEX_QUERY_ID), never in a chat, and the same goes for every other IB credential, which belongs only in the local TWS or Gateway login. When TWS or Gateway is used, port 7497 is paper trading and port 7496 is the live real-money account. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.
