Codex IBKR Chart Data Prompt Template
Use a narrow Codex prompt template for IBKR chart data that asks for parsers, schemas, tables, documentation, or QA without trading advice.
A Codex IBKR chart data prompt should be specific enough to prevent drift. This support page focuses on the prompt template; use Using Codex or Claude Code With IBKR Chart Data as the main page for the broader IBKR Codex and Claude Code workflow.
Prompt Template
Use this structure: Here is a sanitized MyLinedChart export from my IBKR chart workflow. Use only these fields. Explain the data shape, identify missing review fields, and draft one implementation artifact. Do not infer trading advice, do not invent market context, and list every assumption separately.
For the full workflow before and after the prompt, use Using Codex or Claude Code With IBKR Chart Data.
Template Fields
The prompt should identify the source, field meanings, requested output, and review constraints. If those four parts are missing, Codex is more likely to produce output that looks useful but is hard to verify.
| Prompt Field | What to Include |
|---|---|
| Source | MyLinedChart export from an IBKR chart workflow |
| Fields | Symbol, timeframe, drawings, notes, levels, setup tags, review status |
| Task | Parser, table schema, dashboard draft, documentation, or QA checklist |
| Constraint | No trading advice, no invented fields, no unreviewed risk logic |
| Review | Assumptions, missing data, and tests a human should run |
Good First Tasks
Start with a parser, field map, table schema, or dashboard draft. These tasks are narrow enough to check manually and useful enough to improve the workflow.
Do not start by asking Codex to produce an end-to-end trading system. The prompt should improve the chart-data handoff, not replace trader judgment.
Next Step
After testing the prompt template, use Using Codex or Claude Code With IBKR Chart Data to compare the Codex prompt with the Claude Code prompt and the human review checklist.
Keep the prompt stable while testing so output changes reflect the chart data, not prompt drift.
