Monitors US-listed stocks at market open, places conditional stop-buy orders based on the first 1-minute candle, manages an initial stop loss, and trails the stop below completed 5-minute candle lows. --- How It Works 1. Before market open, you add 3–15 tickers to tickers.txt 2. The bot connects to IBKR and watches for the first completed 1-minute candle (9:30–9:31 ET) 3. For each ticker, it places a stop-market buy order at the candle's high 4. It automatically sets a stop-loss at the candle's low 5. Position size is calculated from your account value and chosen risk percentage 6. If the buy order is not triggered within your set window (default 15 min), it is cancelled 7. Once a position is open, the bot trails the stop upward below each completed 5-minute candle low 8. The stop only moves up — never down --- Prerequisites - Python 3.11 or higher - Interactive Brokers account (paper or live, including ISK accounts) - IBKR Trader Workstation (TWS) or IB Gateway installed and running - API access enabled in TWS/Gateway settings --- Step-by-Step Setup 1.
