# IB Stop-Loss Manager Analyzes PMCC (diagonal call spread), naked LEAPS, and stock positions in the IB portfolio and manages conditional stop-loss orders. **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 ### Step 1: Run the script Dry-run (default — no orders placed): ```bash uv run python .claude/skills/ib-stop-loss/scripts/stop_loss.py ``` Execute (cancel orphan orders + place SL_ conditional orders): ```bash uv run python .claude/skills/ib-stop-loss/scripts/stop_loss.py --execute ``` Execute forced (basis = current mid price, can lower existing stops): ```bash uv run python .claude/skills/ib-stop-loss/scripts/stop_loss.py --execute --forced ``` ### Step 2: Format the report Format JSON...
