ORB Trader

How it works

Two parts. One trading setup.

ORB Trader and your broker account do different jobs. You pay for the software by the trading day; your trading money never leaves Interactive Brokers.

ORB Trader

Access fee

Pays for ORB Trader. Buy your days, unlock a session, and put the strategy to work.

From $9.95 / trading day with the 20-day pack

Your IBKR account

Trading capital

Stays in your own Interactive Brokers account. It funds the options and covers broker charges. You control the account.

Your balance · your positions · your P&L
Unlocks the strategy
Funds the trades

Your trading session

ORB Trader sends the orders. IBKR holds your capital and executes them.

What connects to what

Everything runs on your own computer, and each connection has one job.

Your Windows PC

ORB Trader runs here, beside IB Gateway signed in to your account. The cockpit opens in your browser on the same machine.

Interactive Brokers

Orders go to your IBKR account through IB Gateway. IBKR holds your capital, fills the orders and holds the protective stop the bot rests when a fill lands.

orbtrader.app

Unlocking a day sends your purchase email, this install’s ID and the date. The answer is a pass signed for that day. It never sees your broker login, your balance or your orders.

By the numbers

The defaults the bot ships with, and the costs the backtest assumes.
