Server-side trailing stop management for stocks and naked LEAPS in IB. Places native TRAIL orders that auto-ratchet the stop as price climbs. Dry-run by default. Requires TWS or IB Gateway running locally.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# IB Trailing Stop Manager Places IB native **TRAIL** orders against stocks and naked LEAPS in the portfolio. IB auto-adjusts the stop trigger as the price climbs and locks it as price falls. PMCC positions are intentionally excluded — use `ib-stop-loss` for those (a standalone trailing stop on the PMCC long leg would break the hedge at trigger). **Default mode is dry-run** — no orders are placed unless `--execute` is in the request. ## 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. ## Instructions …

How to install
mdr add staskh/trading_skills/ib-trailing-stop@sha256:b461cb72d35b0221The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.c0c554f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
