Interactive Brokers trading journal

Connect via SnapTrade. IBKR's own API is too complex for direct OAuth.

About this integration

Interactive Brokers doesn't expose a public OAuth API the way modern brokers do — their Flex Query system is powerful but legacy. We connect IBKR via SnapTrade, a third-party aggregator that handles the IBKR integration on our behalf. The user experience is similar to direct OAuth (sign in, approve, done) but the underlying mechanism is SnapTrade-mediated.

Supported instruments

Known limitations

  • !IBKR Flex Query CSV import is also supported — Settings → Brokers → Upload CSV → IBKR Flex Query preset. Use this if you'd rather not go through SnapTrade.

Why use TradeFlow Quantum instead of Interactive Brokers's built-in tools?

  • Cross-broker view. If you trade Interactive Brokersplus any other broker, TFQ unifies the equity curve, P&L attribution, and mistake-checker across all of them.
  • Mistake-checker on YOUR data — surfaces patterns in your Interactive Brokershistory (time-of-day, setup type, emotional state) the broker won’t show you.
  • Long-term data ownership. Interactive Brokers’s built-in analytics typically limit history to 90 days or 1 year. TFQ keeps every trade forever, exportable to CSV any time.
