Interactive Brokers (beta) IB

We do now import the following trades for the Interactive Brokers platforms:

• Stocks
• Forex
• Futures
• Indices

We DO NOT support options trades.

In your Interactive Brokers account, you have to set up our export requirements once (step 1 - 8) and then you can keep exporting trade data easily with one click afterward. 

Once you have set up the Interactive Brokers Flex Query settings once, you can just jump ahead to step 9 below.
