Trading bot for Interactive Brokers

ZeroTouch automates options strategies in your own IBKR account. It runs on your computer, connects through IB Gateway —Interactive Brokers' official connection— and trades on its own with fixed rules.

ZeroTouch has entered the TradingTech Insight Awards Europe 2027.

How it connects to your IBKR account

1

IB Gateway

Interactive Brokers' official program for automated connections. It allows buying and selling, but not withdrawing or transferring funds.

2

A username just for the bot

You create a second username on your account with trading and market data permissions, so the bot stays connected even when you log in from your phone.

3

The bot trades on its own

It buys, holds and sells by its rules during US market hours, and emails you about every trade.

What it trades in your account

HedgeFund

Long-term LEAPS on the largest Nasdaq-100 companies. Renews its cycle once a year.

Momentum

Weekly calls on the stocks with the strongest 6-month momentum, only when the market is in an uptrend.

FAQ

Does ZeroTouch have access to my money?

No. The program runs on your computer and trades your account through IB Gateway, which only allows buying and selling. It cannot withdraw or transfer funds. ZeroTouch only receives numbers: account value, positions and alerts.

Which brokers does it work with?

Today only Interactive Brokers (IBKR), individual or company accounts. We are in the process of adding new brokers soon.

Which market and hours does it trade?

Only the US market: US-listed stocks and options. It trades only on New York Stock Exchange trading days, during market hours (9:30 am to 4:00 pm New York time). Outside those hours, on weekends and holidays, the bot waits without trading.

How long does the bot need to be open?

Ideally, keep it open every market day, together with IB Gateway. The bare minimum: Momentum, on Mondays (buys from 10:00 am New York time) and on the last trading day before each expiration (sells in-the-money options from 2:00 pm); in Monday mode, Mondays only. HedgeFund, on the days it opens or renews its cycle (1 to 3 market days, about once a year). Master, whatever its portfolios need combined.

What does the bot do if it starts on an account with open positions?

HedgeFund: if there are positions that aren't calls, it pauses and emails you; if there are calls it didn't open, it also pauses until you check "Adopt existing positions" in Settings to add them to its cycle. Momentum: with prior positions it pauses until you check "Adopt existing positions"; it takes in calls from its universe, treats shares of its tickers as an exercise and sells them, and reports any other position by email without touching it. That's why we recommend a dedicated account for each individual bot. Master: it never touches positions that don't belong to any of its portfolios; it emails you once and only trades its own.

Do you take a share of the profits?

No. You only pay for the software license and any services you choose. Your account's results are yours.
