Hello to everyone, Ex insto trader who has traded full time since 2018. I have very basic python skills and looking for help to automate my strategies. Currently manually working on MGTN dispersion strategy via long/short equity or options, market neutral. This will be my focus in 2026. Any help with developing code to automate this via IB would be greatly appreciated.

so far have built just about every part of a quant business.. and made lots of mistakes along the way. recently tested stability and modelability of every standard/common TA feature.. none provide reliable signal. refocusing on my feature store building microstructure derived features, custom event bar types, and transforms to improve feature engineering.. while attempting to channel lopez de prado's style. looking forward to sharing ideas and learning with the group!
