What this skill does


# IBKR Trading Skill

Automate trading with Interactive Brokers using the Client Portal Gateway API.

## Overview

This skill enables:
- Automated IBKR authentication via IBeam + IBKR Key
- Portfolio and position monitoring
- Order placement and management
- Building custom trading strategies

## Prerequisites

- IBKR account (live or paper)
- IBKR Key app installed on phone (for 2FA)
- Linux server with Java 11+ and Chrome/Chromium

## Quick Setup

### 1. Install Dependencies

```bash
# Java (for Client Portal Gateway)
sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless

# Chrome + ChromeDriver (for IBeam)
sudo apt-get install -y chromium-browser chromium-chromedriver

# Virtual display (headless auth)
sudo apt-get install -y xvfb

# Python venv
python3 -m venv ~/trading/venv
source ~/trading/venv/bin/activate
pip install ibeam requests
```

### 2. Download Client Portal Gateway

```bash
cd ~/trading
wget https://download2.interactivebrokers.com/portal/clientportal.gw.zip
unzip clientportal.gw.zip -d clientportal
```

### 3. Configure Credentials

Create `~/trading/.env`:
```bash
IBEAM_ACCOUNT=your_username
IBEAM_PASSWORD='your_password'
IBEAM_GATEWAY_DIR=/path/to/trading/clientportal
IBEAM_CHROME_DRIVER_PATH=/usr/bin/chromedriver
IBEAM_TWO_FA_SELECT_TARGET="IB Key"
```

## Authentication

### Start Gateway + Authenticate

```bash
# 1. Start Client Portal Gateway
cd ~/trading/clientportal && bash bin/run.sh root/conf.yaml &

# 2. Wait for startup (~20 sec)
sleep 20

# 3. Run IBeam authentication
cd ~/trading
source venv/bin/activate
source .env
export DISPLAY=:99
Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
python -m ibeam --authenticate
```

**Important:** User must approve IBKR Key notification on phone within ~2 minutes!

### Check Auth Status

```bash
curl -sk https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/auth/status
```

Authenticated response includes `"authenticated": true`.

## API Usage

### Account Info

```bash
# List accounts
curl -sk https://localhost:5000/v1/api/portfolio/accounts

# Account summary
curl -sk "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/portfolio/{accountId}/summary"
```

### Positions

```bash
# Current positions
curl -sk "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/portfolio/{accountId}/positions/0"
```

### Market Data

```bash
# Search for symbol
curl -sk "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/secdef/search?symbol=AAPL"

# Get quote (after searching)
curl -sk "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/marketdata/snapshot?conids=265598&fields=31,84,86"
```

### Place Orders

```bash
curl -sk -X POST "https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/account/{accountId}/orders" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "orders": [{
      "conid": 265598,
      "orderType": "MKT",
      "side": "BUY",
      "quantity": 1,
      "tif": "DAY"
    }]
  }'
```

## Session Management

Sessions expire after ~24 hours. Options:

1. **Keepalive cron** - Ping `/v1/api/tickle` every 5 min
2. **Auto re-auth** - Run IBeam when session expires (requires phone approval)

### Keepalive Script

```python
import requests
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings()

def keepalive():
    try:
        r = requests.post("https://localhost:5000/v1/api/tickle", verify=False, timeout=10)
        status = requests.get("https://localhost:5000/v1/api/iserver/auth/status", verify=False, timeout=10)
        return status.json().get("authenticated", False)
    except:
        return False
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Gateway not responding | Check if Java process is running: `ps aux \| grep GatewayStart` |
| Login timeout | User didn't approve IBKR Key in time - retry auth |
| Connection refused | Gateway not started - run `bin/run.sh root/conf.yaml` |
| Chrome errors | Ensure Xvfb is running: `Xvfb :99 &` and `export DISPLAY=:99` |

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
