Interactive Brokers Retail Integration

Note: This feature is currently in a beta phase. It’s important to note that beta functionality may not yet be considered stable. As such, it should not be relied upon until it is officially released.

Follow the instructions below to setup an connection between your Interactive Brokers (IB) account and Sharesight.

This integration is for retail clients only. However Sharesight do support multi-account IB structures such as advisors.

Note: It’s important that the base currency of your IB account matches your Sharesight portfolio’s base currency. If these are different, then any foreign trades will be imported into Sharesight with incorrect exchange rates.

Once you have completed these setup steps, your trading activity will be automatically imported into your selected Sharesight portfolio on a daily basis.
