# 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

### Step 1: Run the script

Dry-run (default — no orders placed):
```bash
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --symbols JOBY --trail-pct 20
```

Execute (cancel orphan TS_ orders + place new TS_ TRAIL orders):
```bash
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --symbols JOBY --trail-pct 20 --execute
```

Execute forced (cancel + replace existing TS_ orders with current parameters):
```bash
uv run python .claude/skills/ib-trailing-stop/scripts/trailing_stop.py --execute --forced
```

### Step 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 mode
- `preserve_existing` — TS_ already in place; left alone (IB has been tracking the high)
- `overwrite` — `--forced` is 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_existing` separately so user knows nothing changed.
- Show existing trail details (current `trail_stop_price`) so user knows where IB has trailed to.
