Instead of manual order placement, Interactive Brokers algo trading becomes accessible through rule-based automation that executes your strategies across multiple brokers. You define conditions using technical indicators, price levels and time-based triggers. The system monitors your positions across Alpaca, WeBull, Charles Schwab and Trading212 while maintaining consistent execution regardless of market hours.
Professional automation typically requires coding expertise and direct market access. This platform bridges that gap by offering visual rule builders that translate into systematic execution. Your strategies run with institutional precision while remaining completely customizable through an intuitive interface.
Rather than limiting yourself to a single broker, the system coordinates trades across multiple venues simultaneously. You might execute large-cap strategies through Charles Schwab while running small-cap momentum plays on Alpaca. Portfolio allocation rules ensure proper risk distribution across all connected accounts.
Ready-to-use algorithmic templates
Templates cover classic approaches like mean reversion, momentum breakouts and systematic DCA. Each strategy includes predefined entry conditions, exit rules and risk parameters that you can customize. For example, a momentum strategy might buy when price breaks above 20-day highs with volume confirmation and sell on 5% profit or 2% stop loss.
Risk management built into every algorithm
Every strategy includes position sizing rules, maximum drawdown limits and correlation checks across your portfolio. The system prevents overconcentration in single sectors while maintaining diversification targets you specify.
Moving Average Scalper
Enters long positions when price crosses above short-term MA with volume confirmation. Exits on opposite crossover or fixed profit target. Designed for trending markets with clear directional bias.
RSI Oversold Rebound
Buys when RSI drops below 30 on daily timeframes while price holds above key support levels. Sells when RSI exceeds 70 or after predetermined holding period. Works best in range-bound conditions.
Breakout Plus Retest
Identifies resistance breakouts with volume surge then waits for pullback retest before entry. Combines momentum confirmation with improved risk-reward positioning. Effective during earnings seasons.
Momentum Pullback Entry
Catches pullbacks in established uptrends using Fibonacci retracements and moving average support. Enters on bounce confirmation with tight stops. Targets continuation of primary trend direction.
Support Resistance Bounce
Trades reversals at key psychological levels and technical support zones. Uses multiple timeframe confirmation before entry. Manages risk through predetermined stop levels below support.

Positions for post-earnings momentum continuation based on initial market reaction. Enters after earnings surprise confirmation with directional bias. Holds through typical drift period.
High Beta Risk-On Basket
Allocates to high-beta stocks during risk-on market environments using VIX and sector rotation signals. Rebalances based on market regime changes. Concentrates in growth and cyclical sectors.
Pairs Trading Cointegration
Identifies statistically related stock pairs and trades mean reversion when spreads deviate from historical norms. Market-neutral approach with built-in hedging characteristics.
Volatility Regime Switcher
Adjusts strategy parameters based on current volatility environment using VIX levels and realized volatility measures. Switches between momentum and mean reversion approaches automatically.
Before deploying capital, the platform runs your Interactive Brokers algo strategies against historical data to validate performance assumptions. Backtesting reveals how your rules would have performed across different market conditions including bear markets, high volatility periods and sector rotations. You can adjust parameters based on historical results before going live.
Once deployed, your algorithms run continuously with real-time performance tracking and risk monitoring. Dashboard views show current positions, unrealized P&L and strategy-specific metrics. Alert systems notify you of significant drawdowns, position concentration or unusual market conditions that might affect performance.
The system maintains portfolio-wide risk limits that prevent any single strategy or sector from dominating your allocation. Correlation monitoring ensures diversification targets are maintained while maximum position sizes prevent concentration risk. These controls operate independently of individual strategy rules.
Order routing optimizes execution across connected brokers to minimize slippage and market impact. The system can split large orders across multiple venues while timing entries to avoid predictable patterns. Smart order types help achieve better fills than simple market orders.
