Interactive Brokers
Interactive Brokers on Vike Trader: capabilities, order kinds, time-in-force handling, margin, fees, amend semantics and how the bridge is wired — rendered from the venue tables the runtime consults.
Interactive Brokers is one of the 14 venues Vike Trader mounts through the shared bridge contract: the
runtime speaks to every venue through one ExecutionClient seam, and everything below is rendered
from the capability tables that seam is built on — caps_for,
venue_margin_support, fee_schedule_for, amend_semantics, attribution_for and venue_tif
in the Rust workspace — exported as venues.json at every release. This page cannot state a
stale capability: each table has a roster-completeness gate in the product tree, and a wrong row
fails that gate before it could reach here. What a table cannot hold — the operational judgement
— lives in the hand-written venues overview.
How the bridge is wired
Class: feature-gated. The live arm compiles only under a vike-mount cargo feature; a default build has no arm at all and falls through to paper, byte-identical. Reconcile, where wired, sits behind the same feature plus the venue's own inner gates. A release binary built without the feature will never trade here whatever the credential store holds.
The mount connects to the Client Portal gateway synchronously; a connect failure demotes the venue to paper for the session and drops its reconcile handle (vike_mount::make_engine's ("ibkr", _) arm).
Capabilities
| Capability | Value |
|---|---|
| Modify (amend) an order | no |
| Native batch submit / cancel | no |
| Reduce-only | no |
| Combo (multi-leg) orders | no |
| Post-only | no |
| Batch size cap | 0 |
| Backfill: bars | yes |
| Backfill: ticks | no |
Live market data the bridge feeds: bars, quotes, trades, book, depth.
Order kinds and triggers
Order kinds the adapter wires: market, limit, stop. Trigger types for the
conditional kinds: stop-loss. The vocabulary is the canonical one from
vike_model::venue_caps::ORDER_KINDS, not this venue's wire strings; the
orders concepts pages explain each kind's semantics and the per-venue
matrix.
Time in force
"Supported" is what the adapter wires; "accepted" is what it will take from a strategy without
rejecting — a TIF can be accepted and then coerced or ignored on the wire, and that is what the
last column says (vike_bridge_core::tif::venue_tif).
| TIF | Supported | Accepted | On the wire |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTC | yes | yes | mapped to GTC |
| IOC | yes | yes | mapped to IOC |
| FOK | yes | yes | mapped to FOK |
| GTD | yes | yes | mapped to GTD |
| Day | yes | yes | mapped to DAY |
Margin
Margin modes the adapter offers: cross, defaulting to cross.
What the exchange itself offers (a vendor-documentation transcription, vike_model::venue_margin_support):
cross, switched not-applicable; the isolated-margin
wallet is not adjustable.
Fees
Per share with a floor: 0.005 per share, minimum 1, capped at 0.005% of notional. The schedule is vike_model::fee_schedule_for's default row and is what the
cost model charges in a backtest.
Amending orders
A modify on this venue is applied with semantics the registry has not classified — treat a modify as unverified on this venue
(vike_model::amend_semantics).
Attribution
No attribution mechanism — orders carry no affiliate or builder tag on this venue. An absent or invalid code degrades to no attribution with a
byte-identical wire (vike_model::attribution::attribution_for).
