Can do algo trading with IBKR and TWS

Mentions:#IBKR

You’re on the right track thinking about DTE + delta — that’s already more structured than how most people start A few points that might help: 1. About the 40+ DTE / 70 delta idea That framework is usually used for: * Directional trades with a higher probability of finishing ITM * Slower theta decay early on * More stock-like behavior (high delta) The tradeoff is you’re paying more premium, so contract selection really matters (break-even, ROI, downside risk). 2. Tools that can filter by DTE + delta Most brokers *can* do this, but it’s usually clunky: * Thinkorswim – custom option filters (delta, DTE, volume) * Tastytrade – decent filtering, more strategy-oriented * IBKR – very powerful but not beginner friendly These are good for *finding* contracts, but they don’t always help you compare which one actually makes sense for your thesis. 3. Structured workflow that helped me What helped me personally was flipping the process a bit: Instead of starting with the chain and filtering forever, I now: 1. Define my target price 2. Define my timeframe (ex: \~45 DTE) 3. Then compare contracts that fit that idea I’ve been using calculators to do that comparison (ROI, break-even, risk) side by side — much easier than eyeballing chains. I’ve tested OptionHype for this recently and it’s useful for sanity-checking contract choices once you already have a thesis. 4. Beginner advice (important) Since you’re new: * Don’t rely on delta alone — always check break-even * High delta ≠ low risk * Paper trade or size very small until you’re consistent Structure comes from repeatable rules, not just scanners.

Mentions:#IBKR

If you’re trying to keep it structured (especially as a newer options trader), I’d separate option selection from price context. For the filters themselves (40+ DTE, high delta), most platforms can handle that: • Barchart, Thinkorswim, and IBKR scanners can all filter by DTE, delta, liquidity, etc. • That gets you the contracts that fit your criteria, but it doesn’t really tell you where you’re buying them in the broader price structure. Where I see newer traders get tripped up is buying high-delta options without checking if price is extended or sitting in the middle of a range. Personally, I usually sanity-check structure first (trend, range, key demand/supply) and then look for the option that matches it. I sometimes use something like ChartScanner.ai just to quickly see whether price is trending cleanly or chopping before even opening the options chain. So workflow-wise: 1. Check structure / location on the underlying 2. Confirm trend vs range 3. Then use an options scanner to filter DTE + delta That way the scanner supports your thesis instead of replacing it.

You’re not following this conversation very well. I’m the only one that brought those two institutions into the mix. They were a direct response to a question, *you* asked. A question you asked because you called into question my claim that vanguard is not really full-service (which it’s not). My only other point was where Vanguard does overlap with more feature rich providers, they’re more expensive. Fidelity, Schwab, and IBKR are more comprehensive providers…in that order.

5 years ago you'd only hear the same 3-4 names here (and they are still dominating the wallet share of older HNW folks), but the gap between legacy brokers and newer platforms is much smaller than it used to be. A lot of HNW DIY investors are rethinking what they actually need and are increasingly turning toward newer all-in-one players (Public, Robinhood, WeBull) because they offer modern UIs, smoother workflows, and often lower or more transparent fees - plus increasingly robust product access (not just basic stock/ETF investing anymore). IBKR / Fidelity / Schwab are still common, especially for certain cases (global access, specialty products/funds, etc.), but it’s no longer “legacy or bust.”

AI Brief (not double checked); No, you will **not** have to physically take delivery of barrels of oil at a storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma. Interactive Brokers (**IBKR**) has a strict policy against customers making or taking physical delivery for most commodities, including the CL (Light Sweet Crude Oil) futures contract.  IBKR has automatically: * **Liquidated your futures position**: The broker is in the process of, or has already, closed out the resulting long or short futures position on the open market to prevent delivery obligations and cover the margin shortfall. * **Charged your account for losses/fees**: You are responsible for any losses from the spread, the forced liquidation, and potential additional fees.  The goal of this policy is to protect retail traders from the logistical and financial burden of dealing with the physical commodity, which involves arranging storage, insurance, and transport.  Your total potential financial loss at this moment is approximately **$8,500 per contract**, plus any applicable fees. This is calculated based on the maximum possible loss for a bull put spread. Loss Calculation The maximum potential loss for a bull put spread occurs when the price of the underlying futures contract is at or below the lower strike price at expiration.  * **Your Spread:** 57/65.50 bull put spread * **Lower Strike Price:** **$57.00** * **Higher Strike Price:** **$65.50** * **Crude Oil Futures Price (at settlement on December 19, 2025):** Approximately **$56.66**  Since the underlying crude oil price is below your lower strike of $57.00, the maximum loss scenario is triggered. **Maximum Loss Formula:** (Difference between strike prices - Net premium received) \* Contract size Assuming you opened the spread for a **net credit**, your maximum loss is the difference between the strikes minus that credit. * **Difference in Strikes:** **$65.50** \- **$57.00** = **$8.50** per barrel. * **Contract Size:** Each CL contract represents **1,000 barrels**. * **Total Loss (before premium and fees):** **$8.50** \* **1,000** = **$8,500** per contract.  The actual final loss will be reduced by whatever net premium you originally received when you opened the spread.

Mentions:#ORCL#IBKR

Your alternative approach and the IBKR+Python approach are the same thing. Your Python code needs to connect to a broker’s API, like IBKR’s, in order to execute trades. And the broker will provide a data feed. The only reasons you would want a 3rd party data feed is if the broker’s feed is too expensive or too slow. For instance, IBKR’s TWS API updated option quotes every 250 milliseconds and has limitations on simultaneous streaming symbols requiring paying more to exceed the limit: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/ibkr-api-page/market-data-subscriptions/#market-data-lines There’s quite a few broker/data feed APIs: IBKR, Lightspeed, TradeStation, Public, Tradier, Tastytrade, etc. I prefer IBKR because they have great order execution personally.

Like wtf do you want from me bro, I cant spoon feed you. Im sorry you hate AI so much. Bullet points are below. If you want I can say it like the wendys working person I am "DeManD vS SupPlY = Nuggets is what my momma always said" i can do that for you. Below are the SAME BULLETS I KEEP SAYING if the above isnt enough for you :) 1. **FTD data** \- That's from SEC/FINRA. Market-wide. 527K shares failed to deliver in November across ALL brokers. That's not IBKR-specific. 2. **Short interest (9.44M / 104% of float)** \- That's NASDAQ-reported, not IBKR. 3. **The structural thesis:** None of that depends on IBKR availability. * No S-3 filed (SEC filing) * Zero convertible bonds (10-K) * McCann Class B can't be lent (company charter) **On borrow fee:** It IS increasing. 18 months of data, 52K observations - the fee broke out of an 18-month range TODAY. That's the signal you just described. **On "10x more shares globally":** If locates were easy across all brokers, why did 3.68M shares fail to deliver in October? Why 527K in November? FTDs exist because locates WEREN'T obtained - market-wide.

Mentions:#IBKR

There is one thing you're missing and that the AI is not telling you. The shares to short that fintel and many others show, is only the data from IBKR. Meaning these are shares available to short **on IBKR**, not on other platforms. E.g. you could have a million shares on Schwab or some other large broker and that would not show up. When larger players are shorting the stock, they don't go to IBKR, they run a locate on a direct to market broker, and there is no issues obtaining locates. That's why the borrow fee is so low, because essentially it means there's most likely 10 times as many shares available globally on the market (if not more). Once there is a real shortage of shares the borrow fee will increase exponentially. This does not mean that it's not possible to squeeze this. The market cap is low, if everyone in this sub would buy a chunk it would squeeze right away, but your heavy leaning into the "shares available on IBKR" data is wrong, and the very low borrow fee confirms that. Don't reply with AI generated spam, I will just block you.

Your thesis is wrong - the sales available short is only concerning the ones on IBKR. However, you are handling it as if it would be all shares that are available to borrow, which is simply not true. Almost any stock that shows 0 on IBKR, I can run a locate on a direct market broker and borrow. The fact that it's zero at IBKR doesn't mean it's zero at e.g Schwab or any other broker. In this case we see 600k - for it to be the total IBKR would have to have 100% market share, but the reality is at best 1/10th that. Even though your thesis is completely wrong, since this stock has massive short interest (30%+) and a very small market cap, then it's easy enough to just force enough buying by pushing it on socials to execute a short squeeze. The company itself is a dog though, and it will go bankrupt. The price/sales is 0.2x at the moment, the debt to equity ratio is a whopping 120% and their cash flow is heavily negative. That's why it's shorted so much. BYND was exactly the same case, but at some point the shorts get too greedy, and then it's possible to squeeze those who get margin called.

Les brokers français sont très compliance. Mais si tu prends un compte chez IBKR, tu as plus de choix... mais c'est un compte à l'étranger.

I think there's some chance of a reversal of the rate cuts on the US side, from a spike in inflation, which would make the carry trade better. Direct shorting of government bonds, in the same way you short stocks, would be one way but my brokerage doesn't offer it. Google says IBKR offers it but requires a high minimum position. The individual investor is more likely to short a treasury futures contract. You'd basically be selling the treasury bond at the futures price, 'locking it in', you get credited the proceeds, which you invest elsewhere. Then you close it out by buying it back, just like short stock or options positions.

Please show your track record from a 5, 10, 15, 20 year window. My algo (tws api over IBKR) did 27.3% for 12 years. So it's possible. But you will never have this when trading manually. You can't beat algos in the long run.

there are several problems 1. the paper sampled uses the sample of Chinese brokerage account, and anyone knows Chinese market (or just look at SZSE, SSE) knows Chinese stock market is brutal last decade, and prone to manipulation in the past, if not in present. 2. It only included margin loan, and investor who are willing to take on margin loan tends to be what Chinese called "goucai", or "dumb ones with money for harvesting", betting on often overvalued, small cap security, and over trades (stated on the paper) that ultimately hurt your return. There is a very large difference between day trading on margin, and buy and holding SSO 3. Admittedly leveragef etf has a high fee, but 60 bps fee on capital for 1 times leverage. are not unreasonable compared to typical spread charged by margin loan, especially at small sums (e.g. IBKR charges 1.5% spread).

I agree with the OP and disagree it looks like with everyone else. It's just a little more re-assuring for me to see the total cost instead of me having to multiply by 100. Not sure if IBKR is typical on how other brokers work or what, but at Schwab in their Web online screen, Desktop ThinkOrSwim app and the phone app they all clearly show what the cost/credit will be with the estimated fees. I am curious if the other brokers also don't show the total cost/credit will be. Is Schwab in the minority or is IBKR in the minority.

Screenshots are from IBKR TWS. Found it in TradingView too. Basically, google this like "ORCL bonds tradingview" and it shows up on the first line.

Options trading isn’t automatically enabled on any brokerage app. It’s something you have to specifically apply for, and attest to the fact that you are an experienced investor who understands how they work. On IBKR you would’ve had to fill out an application and sign off on the fact that you understand the products you’re applying for. You also would’ve been provided with various options risk disclosures, exercise notices, and exchange rules that describe all of the products you’re applying for and would’ve signed that you’d read and understood them.

i don't intend to play with it, I was learning out of curiosity, and it was just baffling to me that an app like IBKR, which sends you plenty of warnings for every operation, floods your UI with information, advice, AI agent etc.. doesn't show a basic information like this, it is mentioned no where

Robinhood has excellent margins compared to IBKR and other brokers. As they expand outside US, I expect such news to affect HOOD less.
