FAQ

Interactive Brokers questions.

Can I copy trade options on Interactive Brokers?

Yes, with Alertsify Pro. Trades from a trader you choose are sent to your IBKR account, sized by the dollar amount, share of your account or number of contracts you set. Each copy waits for you to approve it in the IBKR app, under Orders, AI Instructions, until you turn on IBKR's Autonomous mode. Then copies go through hands-free.

What is IBKR Autonomous mode?

An IBKR setting that lets orders from Alertsify go through without an approval in IBKR. IBKR offers it once you have approved 10 trades on at least 3 different days in the last 14 days. Alertsify shows your progress on the Brokers screen, and you turn it on in IBKR. Automatic orders stay off in Alertsify until you switch them on yourself.

Can I trade options on Interactive Brokers from the chart?

Yes, with Alertsify Trade. Draw your entry, stop and targets on the chart and one tap sends the order to your IBKR account. Until Autonomous mode is on, you approve it in IBKR before it is placed.

How do I connect Interactive Brokers?

Pick Interactive Brokers in Alertsify and sign in on IBKR's own page, so Alertsify never sees your password. You can disconnect it anytime.

Does my money leave IBKR?

No. Alertsify sends orders to your own IBKR account. It can't move or withdraw money, and your funds stay at Interactive Brokers.

Are my chart stops and targets held at IBKR?

No. Alertsify watches the stop and targets you draw and sends the exit to your IBKR account as a market order when price crosses the line. Until Autonomous mode is on, that exit also waits for your approval in IBKR.

What can I trade?

Stocks and single-leg options: calls and puts. Spreads are not copied to IBKR yet. IBKR has to have approved your account for options.
