40

41
+ ---
42
+
43
+ `QX-IB Bridge Server` is a **thin multiplexer** for traders already using
44
+ `ib_async`, `ib_insync`, or direct IB Gateway/TWS scripts who have hit the
45
+ same scaling wall: too many strategies, too many direct broker connections,
46
+ and too many `clientId` conflicts. It is a FastAPI + SDK wrapper around
47
+ `ib_async`, not a reimplementation of the IB stack, so the wire protocol,
48
+ order state machines, and ticker logic still come from the real
49
+ `ib_async.IB`.
50
+
51
+ Instead of opening many separate broker API sessions, the bridge keeps one
52
+ managed IB connection alive and lets the rest of your scripts share it through
53
+ a local HTTP/WebSocket layer. In practice, that means one real IB connection,
54
+ many strategies, and a near-drop-in migration path.
55
+
56
+ > This is not a replacement for the Interactive Brokers Python ecosystem. It is an **operational
57
+ > upgrade** for people already in it.
58
+
59
+ ## Why it exists
60
+
61
+ | Without a bridge | With QuantX-IB Bridge |
62
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
63
+ | Every script connects directly to IB Gateway/TWS | One bridge process owns the real IB connection |
64
+ | Every script consumes an API client slot | Many scripts share a single connection |
65
+ | `clientId` collisions and contention | No collisions — bridge manages the single client |
66
+ | Scaling means connection juggling and manual `clientId` discipline | Scaling stays inside one shared bridge |
67
+
68
+ ## Architecture at a glance

89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ **What ib_async does** (you don't touch): wire protocol, serialization, order
92
+ state machines, ticker price aggregation, event loop management.
93
+
94
+ **What the bridge does**: keeps one managed IB session open, exposes it over a
95
+ local FastAPI + WebSocket server, and gives existing IB Python code a much
96
+ cleaner way to scale.
97
+
98
+ ## What you keep
99
+
100
+ - Familiar `IB()` / `connect()` / `disconnect()` usage
101
+ - Familiar request patterns like `reqHistoricalData()`, `placeOrder()`, `positions()`
102
+ - Your existing Python scripts and strategy layout
103
+
104
+ ## What changes
105
+
106
+ - One import line: `from qx_ibbridge import *`
107
+ - Your scripts point at the local bridge instead of the raw broker socket
108
+
109
+ ## Quick start
110
+
111
+ Install the package:
112
+
113
+ ```bash
114
+ pip install qx_ibbridge
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ Start the IB Gateway:
118
+
119
+ 1. Download the latest IB Gateway from [Interactive Brokers](https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/ibgateway-latest.php)
120
+ 2. Install and launch IB Gateway
121
+ 3. Log in with your Interactive Brokers credentials
122
+ 4. Ensure it listens on `localhost:4004` (default)
123
+
124
+ Start the bridge:
125
+
126
+ ```bash
127
+ qx-server --ib-host localhost --ib-port 4004 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4002
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ Default local model:
131
+
132
+ - external IB Gateway/TWS API socket: `localhost:4004`
133
+ - local QuantX bridge server: `localhost:4002`
134
+
135
+ ## Drop-in SDK workflow
136
+
137
+ The same `pip install qx_ibbridge` package gives you both:
138
+
139
+ - the `qx-server` CLI for running the bridge server
140
+ - the `qx_ibbridge` import for drop-in strategy scripts
141
+
142
+ Then change your script from:
143
+
144
+ ```python
145
+ from ib_async import *
146
+ # or
147
+ from ib_insync import *
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ to:
151
+
152
+ ```python
153
+ from qx_ibbridge import *
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ and keep the same shape:
157
+
158
+ ```python
159
+ ib = IB()
160
+ ib.connect(host="localhost", port=4002)
161
+ print(ib.managedAccounts())
162
+ ```
163
+
164
+ The SDK defaults to the local bridge at `localhost:4002`.
165
+
166
+ For `ib_async` users, this is the intended drop-in path. For `ib_insync`
167
+ users, the workflow is the same in spirit: keep your IB-style code, but route
168
+ it through one local bridge instead of many direct broker sessions.
169
+
170
+ ## Use it your way
171
+
172
+ ### 1. Python
173
+
174
+ ```bash
175
+ qx-server --ib-host localhost --ib-port 4004 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4002
176
+ ```
177
+
178
+ ### 2. Desktop app
179
+
180
+ <p align="center">
181
+ <img src="assets/server-app-screenshot.png" width="500" alt="QuantX IB Bridge Server Desktop App">
182
+ </p>
183
+
184
+ Download the latest desktop app from
185
+ [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/KVignesh122/qx-ib-bridge/releases).
186
+
187
+ If you prefer to launch the desktop UI from Python instead of downloading the
188
+ packaged app:
189
+
190
+ ```bash
191
+ pip install "qx_ibbridge[desktop]"
192
+ qx-ib-bridge-server-desktop
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ The desktop app is optional. It is only a launcher for the same bridge server,
196
+ for users who prefer clicking a UI over running `qx-server`. It does not bundle
197
+ IB Gateway, and it does not change the underlying bridge or SDK behavior. The
198
+ core product already works through `pip install qx_ibbridge`; the desktop app
199
+ is only an add-on for server-launch convenience.
200
+
201
+ ## Examples

+
203
+ - [sample.py](sample.py): direct `ib_async` example against raw IB Gateway/TWS
204
+ - [sample_copy.py](sample_copy.py): bridge example using `qx_ibbridge`

233
+
234
+ This project stands on the work of two open-source efforts:
235
+
236
+ - **[ib_async](https://github.com/ib-api-reloaded/ib_async)** — the actively maintained IB API library that this bridge wraps. The bridge server delegates all wire-protocol, order state machine, and ticker logic to `ib_async.IB`, and the SDK re-exports its contract and order types so existing scripts keep working without change.
237
+
238
+ - **[ib_insync](https://github.com/erdewit/ib_insync)** by Ewald de Wit — the original Python IB API library whose elegant synchronous-style API design this SDK is compatible with. `ib_async` is itself a maintained fork of `ib_insync`.
