Claude + IBKR API: Complete AI Trading Bot Guide

AI-generated source summary

The analysis focuses on building an AI trading bot using Python, Claude, and Interactive Brokers. The strategy involves scanning the market for gappers, specifically looking for stocks in the semiconductor sector that have shown strength. The 'Trend Join Long' strategy is defined by several filters: daily filters require the price to be above the previous day's high and above the 200-day SMA, with a gap of at least 3% from the prior close. Intraday filters require the price to be above the pre-market high and today's high, with relative volume at least twice the 14-day average. The entry window is between 9:05 AM and 10:30 AM ET, and the exit criteria include a stop at 1% below the low of the day and a partial profit target at 0.75R. The analysis demonstrates the setup process, including API configuration, Python environment setup, and creating a strategy file. The bot is designed to automate the trading cycle every 30 minutes, scanning for potential trades and executing orders based on the defined strategy. The ultimate goal is to have an autonomous trading bot that can execute trades, manage risks, and send alerts. A key observation is that the strength of the semiconductor sector is currently driving market momentum, with specific stocks like NVDA, MU, and AMD being highlighted.
