Generate tactical collar strategy reports for protecting PMCC positions through earnings or high-risk events. 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 Tactical Collar

Generate a tactical collar strategy report for protecting PMCC positions through earnings or high-risk events.

## 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

### Step 1: Gather Data

```bash
uv run python scripts/collar.py SYMBOL [--port PORT] [--account ACCOUNT]
```

The script returns JSON to stdout with all position and scenario data.

### Step 2: Format Report

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add staskh/trading_skills/ib-collar@sha256:c816cba5d1ead174

The 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.
