The Automated IBKR Trading Journal for Multi-Asset Traders
Turn messy IBKR statements into a clear equity curve. No manual entry. No complex spreadsheets.
You trade on Interactive Brokers for the execution, not the reporting. Digging through "Flex Queries" or static statements to find your edge is painful. It creates friction. It hides your mistakes.
TradeBB connects directly to your brokerage account. It pulls your raw IBKR trade log, cleans the data, and shows you exactly where you are making (or losing) money. Whether you scalp futures or swing trade options, get the clarity you need to size up or cut risk.
Intelligent Data Parsing: We Speak "IBKR"
Most journals choke on Interactive Brokers' complex data formats. We don't. TradeBB is built to handle the heavy lifting of raw data normalization, so you don't have to.
From Raw Strings to Smart Fields
IBKR often combines critical data into single strings. We break it down. When we import your logs, our engine automatically maps the raw IBKR field to standardized TradeBB fields.
See how we decode your data:
| Raw IBKR Data | Smart Parsing (TradeBB) | The Trader Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol String | UNDERLYING_SYMBOL + ASSET_TYPE | We separate the ticker (e.g., TSLA) from the asset (Stock/Option). You can finally filter stats by "Long Calls" vs "Long Stock" instantly. |
| Commission / Tax | BROKER_COMMISSION + BROKER_TAX | We strip out fees automatically. Your PnL reports show Net Profit, not gross. No more overestimating your edge. |
| Account ID | BROKER_ACCOUNT_ID | Trade multiple sub-accounts? We map them distinctively so you can filter performance by specific account. |
| Date/Time | ACTION_TIME | We normalize execution times to your local time zone for accurate session analysis. |
Auto-Calculated Derived Metrics
We don't just display what IBKR gives us. We use the raw price and action data to calculate the metrics that actually matter for your review:
- Entry & Exit Prices: We merge split fills into a single average price.
- Trade Duration: derived from Opening and Closing timestamps.
- Side (Long/Short): Auto-detected based on your initial action.
- Net PnL: (Exit - Entry) * Multiplier * Quantity - Fees
Visualize Your Edge (What You See After Import)
Once your data is synced, TradeBB transforms the raw rows into two powerful views.
1. The Dashboard: Your Equity Curve
Go to your Dashboard to see the big picture.
- Net PnL Curve: See your performance after IBKR commissions are deducted.
- Win Rate & Profit Factor: Aggregated across all your trades.
- Drawdown Visualizer: See exactly how deep you went into the red during your losing streaks.
2. The Trades Table: Granular Review
Go to Trades to drill down into individual executions.
- Clean Columns: See Underlying, Asset Type (Stock/Option), and Net PnL side-by-side.
- Smart Filters: Filter by BROKER_ACCOUNT_ID if you manage multiple accounts, or filter by Duration to separate your scalps from your swings.
Why an IBKR Trading Journal is Better Than Excel
Excel is static. It breaks when you add complex option legs or split fills.
- Error-Free: No broken formulas when IBKR changes a column format.
- Multi-Asset Logic: We understand that an Option contract has a Multiplier (x100), while a Stock share doesn't. Excel requires complex logic to handle this; we do it automatically.
- True Cost Tracking: By mapping Commission and Tax fields, we ensure your journal reflects your actual bankroll, not a theoretical gross profit.
