Frequently asked questions

Does the service log in to IBKR for me?

No. You log in to TWS or IB Gateway and complete IBKR verification yourself. The local agent connects to the already running paper API on localhost. It does not store your brokerage password or automate 2FA.

Does a queued alert mean an order filled?

No. The webhook response confirms durable queue acceptance. The dashboard later reports the agent's initial IBKR order status. Check TWS/Gateway for order and fill details.

What happens if the connection drops?

If the agent cannot report the result for a claimed order, the platform marks it reconcile_required and does not retry it automatically. Inspect the paper account before taking action.

Which orders are supported?

Initial agent support covers stock, forex, and specified option contracts; market and limit order types; and closing matching positions. Quantity is capped by the local agent configuration.

Can I use a live account?

This downloadable agent is paper-only and rejects live TWS/Gateway ports. Do not modify the agent to route live orders.
