ib-trades-history

ib-trades-history is a skill for Claude Code from staskh/trading_skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trade-history reader retrieves completed trade executions from Interactive Brokers, a brokerage platform. It can filter results by account, date range, or symbol, using recent API history or a configured FlexReport for older records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect executions for a chosen account, period, or ticker; records older than roughly seven days require a configured Flex Web Service report.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to find and review past trades than searching brokerage records manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ib-trades-history scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/trades.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IB Trades History

Fetch trade executions from Interactive Brokers.

IB Connection

TWS or IB Gateway must be running locally with API enabled:

  • Paper trading — port 7497
  • Live trading — port 7496
  • IB_PORT env var — default port when --port is omitted (e.g. IB_PORT=4001 for a Gateway container). Precedence: --port flag > IB_PORT > built-in default. Set it in the shell or a .env file.

Port fallback: If the configured port fails, automatically retry on the other port. If the retry succeeds, save to memory which account type worked (live/paper) and reuse it for all IB skill calls in this and future sessions — until the user explicitly asks for the other account. If both ports fail, ask the user to verify that TWS or IB Gateway is running with API access enabled.

For full trade history beyond ~7 days, the user needs a Flex Web Service token and a pre-configured Trade query in IBKR Account Management.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
