Stock Brokers Supported
Your IB stock bot connects directly to Interactive Brokers through secure API integration, executing trades based on your predefined rules. Set conditions like RSI below 30 on daily charts or moving average crossovers to trigger automatic buy orders. The system monitors your watchlist continuously while your funds remain safely in your IB account.
The platform lets you build sophisticated trading rules without coding knowledge. Create conditions using technical indicators, price movements, and time-based triggers that execute automatically. Your strategies run consistently whether markets open in New York or you're sleeping.
Advanced features include portfolio rebalancing, sector rotation strategies, and risk management controls. Set stop losses, position sizing rules, and maximum drawdown limits to protect your capital. The system handles complex multi-leg strategies across your entire stock portfolio.
Templates for popular IB strategies
Choose from proven templates like momentum breakouts, mean reversion plays, and dividend capture strategies. Each template comes pre-configured with optimal parameters that you can customize for your risk tolerance and account size.
Risk controls built into every bot
Every automated strategy includes position sizing limits, maximum daily loss thresholds, and correlation checks to prevent overexposure. You maintain full control with emergency stop buttons and real-time monitoring dashboards.

Support Resistance Bounce
Identifies key support and resistance levels using volume profile analysis. Enters near support with tight stops and targets resistance levels. Uses multiple timeframe confirmation for higher probability setups.
Pairs Trading Mean Reversion
Trades mean-reverting relationships between correlated stock pairs. Goes long underperformer and short outperformer when spread widens beyond statistical thresholds. Exits when spread normalizes to historical mean.
The automation engine supports complex order types including bracket orders, trailing stops, and conditional fills. Your strategies can scale into positions gradually or execute large blocks using TWAP algorithms. Smart routing ensures optimal fills across multiple market centers while minimizing impact costs.
Monitor aggregate exposure across all your automated strategies with real-time risk dashboards. Set correlation limits to prevent concentrated bets and use sector allocation caps to maintain diversification. The system automatically pauses new positions when portfolio-level risk limits are breached.
Test your trading rules against historical data to validate performance before going live. The backtesting engine uses tick-level data and realistic transaction costs to provide accurate results. Optimize parameters using walk-forward analysis and out-of-sample testing methodologies.
While optimized for Interactive Brokers, the platform also connects to Alpaca, Charles Schwab, E*TRADE, and other major stock brokers. Manage strategies across multiple accounts from a single interface. API connections ensure real-time synchronization and reliable order execution.
