Extracting IB Reports

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by Hilcrest_trader, Dec 14, 2019.

  1. I'm trading options on the IB platform currently using Classic TWS. I extract the reports I need for analysis/progress using Activity Flex Queries. I use two reports regularly:
    1. Open Positions; and
    2. Trades - MTD or YTD
    My questions:
    • The reports lag 'real-time'. I'm guessing the reports are extracted from a Report Server that is updated 'overnight' (?)
    • My Option Positions report takes some time to reflect the current situation. (I live in Australia so it could be a time zone thing.) What do others do? Do you scrape the screen to get a current report? (It would be good to get some of the Greeks as well.)
    Any suggestions/comments?
    Thanks

    What is wrong with the account window? I think you can export from it.

  3. Thanks - just taking a look. IB has so many features it takes time to get to know them all.
