IB Create Consolidated Report

Reads all CSV files from a given directory (excluding subdirectories), consolidates trade data by key fields, and generates both markdown and CSV reports.

Instructions

uv run python scripts/consolidate.py <directory> [--port PORT] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]

Arguments

  • directory - Path to directory containing IBRK trade CSV files
  • --port - IB port to fetch unrealized P&L (7497=paper, 7496=live). If not specified, auto-probes both ports (tries 7496 first, then 7497).
  • --output-dir - Output directory for reports (default: sandbox/)

Consolidation Logic

Groups trades by:

  • UnderlyingSymbol - The underlying ticker (e.g., GOOG, CAT)
  • Symbol - Full option symbol
  • TradeDate - Date of the trade
  • Strike - Strike price
  • Put/Call - Option type (C or P)
  • Buy/Sell - Trade direction
  • Open/CloseIndicator - Whether opening or closing

Aggregates:

  • Quantity - Sum of quantities
  • Proceeds - Sum of proceeds
  • NetCash - Sum of net cash
  • IBCommission - Sum of commissions
  • FifoPnlRealized - Sum of realized P&L

Adds column:

  • Position - SHORT (Sell+Open), LONG (Buy+Open), CLOSE_SHORT (Buy+Close), CLOSE_LONG (Sell+Close)

Output

Generates two files in the output directory:

  • consolidated_trades_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.md - Markdown report with summary tables
  • consolidated_trades_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMM.csv - CSV with all consolidated data

Example Usage

# Consolidate trades from IBRK reports directory
uv run python scripts/consolidate.py "C:\Users\avrah\OneDrive\Business\Trading\IBRK reports\2stastrading2025"

# Specify custom output directory
uv run python scripts/consolidate.py "C:\path\to\reports" --output-dir "C:\output"

All timestamps and time-based calculations must use the America/New_York timezone. All JSON output must include generated_at (NY time string) and data_delay fields.
