What it does
Ib Trailing Stop is an agent skill from staskh/trading_skills. 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/trailing_stop.py`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. The repository describes itself as: Claude powered advisor system for option traders. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Backend development
Example prompts
- “/ib-trailing-stop”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b71a74f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ib Trailing Stop loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 663 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:22
lt-in default. Set it in the shell or a `.env` file.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- description
- 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.
- dependencies
- trading-skills
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_PORTenv var — default port when--portis omitted (e.g.IB_PORT=4001for a Gateway container). Precedence:--portflag >IB_PORT> built-in default. Set it in the shell or a.envfile.
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):
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --symbols JOBY --trail-pct 20Execute (cancel orphan TS_ orders + place new TS_ TRAIL orders):
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --symbols JOBY --trail-pct 20 --executeExecute forced (cancel + replace existing TS_ orders with current parameters):
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --execute --forcedStep 2: Format the report
Format JSON output as a markdown report with three sections:
Section 1: Existing TRAIL Orders
Show all_trail_orders.module (TS_ orders) and all_trail_orders.manual (manually placed).
If orphan_orders is non-empty, warn that these were cancelled (execute mode) or need manual cancellation (dry-run).
Section 2: Positions
For each entry in positions, show a table:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Symbol | JOBY — stock (1000 shares) |
| Spot | $7.50 |
| Reference | $7.50 (max of current $7.50, avg cost $5.00) |
| Trail params | 20% (initial stop $6.00) → action: place_new |
| Existing trail | none |
For LEAPS rows, also show the option leg (strike/expiry) and current option mark.
action values:
place_new— no existing TS_ order; one will be created in execute modepreserve_existing— TS_ already in place; left alone (IB has been tracking the high)overwrite—--forcedis on; existing TS_ will be cancelled and replaced
Section 3: Order Results (execute mode only)
Per-position result with order_id and order_ref.
Step 3: Report to user
- State dry-run vs execute mode prominently.
- Lead with positions that have
action: place_new(these are about to get a new TRAIL). - Call out
preserve_existingseparately so user knows nothing changed. - Show existing trail details (current
trail_stop_price) so user knows where IB has trailed to.

}Key Behaviors
- Reference price =
max(current_price, avg_cost)— locks in profit when above cost, never starts below entry. - Forced mode uses
current_priceas the reference (can place an initial stop below entry, useful when re-arming after a drawdown). - Existing TS_ orders are preserved by default because IB has been ratcheting the trail since placement — replacing would reset that tracked high. Use
--forcedto deliberately reset. - Scope: stocks + naked LEAPS only. PMCC positions are excluded; use
ib-stop-lossfor those.
