# IB Find Short Roll Analyze roll options for short positions or find best short options to open against long stock using real-time data 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).

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 > **Note:** If `uv` is not installed or `pyproject.toml` is not found, replace `uv run python` with `python` in all commands below. ```bash uv run python scripts/roll.py SYMBOL [--strike STRIKE] [--expiry YYYYMMDD] [--right C|P] [--port PORT] [--account ACCOUNT] [--iv-multiplier N] ``` The script returns JSON to stdout with all position and candidate data. ### Step 2: Format Report Read `templates/markdown-template.md` for formatting instructions. Generate a markdown report from the JSON data and save to `sandbox/`. ### Step 3: Report Results P...
