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). Defaults to the IB_PORT env var when set (--port still overrides).
• --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"

Timezone

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.
