One journal for everything you trade on IBKR

Interactive Brokers spans a lot of markets in a single account: stocks, futures, and forex, across the world. The catch is that most journals were built for one of those and treat the rest as an afterthought.

Astro will bring your IBKR activity into one journal and keep each instrument in the model that fits it, so a futures contract is not quietly logged as if it were a share.

Read-only sync through IBKR Flex, coming soon

Astro will connect through Interactive Brokers' Flex reporting, using a Flex token and query ID that grant read-only access to your trade history. That means Astro can build the journal from your real fills without ever being able to place, change, or cancel a trade.

Once connected, your history flows into the journal automatically, so review starts from a clean record instead of a stack of exported statements.

Each instrument modeled right

Stocks are recorded in shares, futures in contracts with the point value that matches the symbol, and forex in lots, so your profit and loss reflects how each instrument really moves. Nothing is flattened into a single one-size model.

From there, group results by symbol, asset class, direction, setup, and playbook to see which markets and setups are working for you on IBKR.

Connect with a Flex token and query ID; Astro reads your history and never trades.

Stocks, futures & forex together

Bring every IBKR market into one journal instead of separate tools.

Each instrument sized right

Shares, contracts with point value, and lots, each kept in the model that fits it.

Review by asset class & setup

Break performance down by symbol, asset class, direction, setup, and playbook.

Setups & playbooks

Tag setups, group them into playbooks, and add a reflection when a trade is worth a note.

Currency-correct totals

Each trade keeps its own currency, and a reporting currency rolls totals up consistently.

One journal, web and iOS.

Your IBKR journal is the same on web and iOS: one account, the same trades. Stocks, futures, and forex are all there, on the desk and on your phone.

Common questions.

How does Astro connect to Interactive Brokers?

IBKR sync is coming soon, through IBKR's Flex reporting. You provide a Flex token and query ID, which give Astro read-only access to your trade history. Broker sync is part of Premium; the core journal is free.

Does Astro place trades on my IBKR account?

No. Flex access is read-only, so Astro can build the journal from your fills but can never place, change, or cancel a trade.

Which IBKR instruments does Astro support?

Stocks in shares, futures in contracts with a point value, and forex in lots, each kept in the model that fits it rather than flattened into one.

Can I review my IBKR trades on my iPhone?

Yes. The web and iOS apps share one account and the same trades, so your stocks, futures, and forex are waiting in both places.
