Interactive Brokers Integration

The journal that keeps up with an IBKR account

Stocks, options, futures, forex — across global markets and currencies. One read-only connection, one coherent performance picture.

Read-only access — TradeInsights can never place trades or move funds.

Interactive Brokers traders run the most complex books in retail: multiple asset classes, multiple currencies, often multiple market sessions. TWS's own reports are thorough but built for accounting, not improvement. TradeInsights pulls your IBKR activity into a journal built for performance analysis — every asset class in one expectancy framework, with AI coaching across the whole book.

Connect Interactive Brokers in minutes

Uses a secure read-only connection. Most traders are synced in under five minutes.

  1. 1

    Connect your IBKR account securely

    In TradeInsights, go to Broker Integration → Interactive Brokers and follow the secure connection flow — you authenticate with IBKR directly and authorize read-only access to your trade data. TradeInsights never sees your IBKR password.

  2. 2

    Or import via Flex/CSV

    Prefer file-based? Generate a Flex Query or activity export in IBKR Client Portal (Performance & Reports → Flex Queries) and upload it under File Import. The IBKR format is auto-detected.

  3. 3

    Review the imported history

    Trades land grouped by position with asset class, currency, and fees attached. Multi-leg option orders and partial fills are assembled correctly.

  4. 4

    Keep it current

    Connected accounts sync automatically; file-based users can re-upload periodic exports and TradeInsights de-duplicates against existing history.

What syncs from IBKR

Every field your analytics and AI coaching need — captured automatically.

  • Stock trades across global exchanges
  • Options trades, including multi-leg structures
  • Futures and forex positions
  • Commissions and fees per execution
  • Multi-currency P&L handled correctly
  • Partial fills assembled into positions
  • Timestamps across market sessions
  • Combined view with any other connected account

What your IBKR data unlocks

A journal is only as good as the analysis it produces

One expectancy framework across asset classes

Your options income trades, equity swings, and futures scalps measured on the same R-multiple scale. Cross-asset traders almost always discover one sleeve is carrying the others.

Multi-currency P&L done right

IBKR traders settle in multiple currencies, which silently corrupts spreadsheet math. TradeInsights handles non-USD accounts and converts consistently, so your aggregate numbers mean something.

Options-aware analysis

Multi-leg orders are kept as structures, not scattered legs — so a condor is judged as a condor, with net credit, max risk, and outcome tracked as one trade.

AI review across the whole book

Claude and GPT-5.5 examine the full multi-asset history — where you concentrate risk, how earnings-week behavior differs, which asset class your discipline degrades in first.

Interactive Brokers journal — FAQ

How does the secure connection work?

You authenticate with Interactive Brokers directly and grant read-only access to trade data — TradeInsights never receives or stores your IBKR login credentials, and can never place trades or move funds.

Can I use Flex Queries instead?

Yes. Set up a Flex Query in IBKR Client Portal covering trades and executions, export it, and upload under File Import. Many IBKR power users prefer this and re-import weekly; duplicates are detected automatically.

Are multi-leg options handled properly?

Yes — spreads, condors, and other combo orders import as single structured trades with net pricing, rather than as disconnected legs that wreck your statistics.

Does it support non-USD base currencies?

Yes. Multi-currency accounts are handled with consistent conversion, which is a common failure point in spreadsheet journals and some competing tools.

I also trade crypto on the side. Same journal?

Yes — connect Binance, Kraken, or Coinbase alongside IBKR and see everything in one combined performance view.
