I realized the real motivation wasn't just taming the API, but avoiding the TWS desktop client at all costs. If you've ever felt the pain of navigating that 1998 Java interface just to check your PnL or place a simple trade, you know exactly why I wanted to replace it entirely with a CLI and AI agents.
I'm around to answer any questions, especially about the local TWS/Gateway setup or piping this into your AI agent workflows.
May your code compile on the first try, your agents never hallucinate a margin call, and your 2026 PnL stay safely in the green!
