IB Live (real-time)

Direct connection to your local Interactive Brokers TWS or IB Gateway. Live positions, orders, and quotes stream via WebSocket. Place and cancel orders from the browser. No polling, no batching — true real-time like IB-Matlab, but in your browser.

Bridge connection

Disconnected

Connect to your bridge above to see live positions, place orders, and monitor events in real-time.

How it works

Three steps to true real-time

01

Open IB Gateway in paper mode

Download IB Gateway (free with any IB account). Log into your paper trading account. Enable socket API in Settings → API. The bridge connects on localhost:7497.

02

Run the bridge locally

Run `npm start` in the fulcrum-quant-ib-bridge repo. Then expose it with `cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8080`. Copy the URL + a secure random API token.

03

Connect & trade

Paste the tunnel URL + token below. Live positions, orders, and quotes stream in real-time via WebSocket. Place orders, cancel them, monitor executions — all from the browser.
