Optional local data bridge

Lumiere Local Connector is for IBKR Paper TWS users.

The connector runs on your machine, talks to Paper TWS on localhost, and gives Lumiere read-only quote, chart, and daily-bar data. It does not transmit orders in V1.

Who needs it

Advanced beta users who already run IBKR Paper TWS/Gateway and want local market-data alignment.

What it does

Checks TWS socket health, completes the API handshake, requests read-only market data, and reports source status back to Lumiere.

What it does not do

No customer live trading, no order transmission, no broker credential storage, and no autonomous execution.

Mac-first beta setup

  1. Install the versioned connector starter script from your Lumiere account.
  2. Open IBKR Paper TWS and enable API socket clients.
  3. Keep Read-Only API enabled and use port 7497.
  4. Start the connector and confirm `/health` returns ready.
  5. Launch Lumiere and check the IBKR paper lane.

Current beta artifact: versioned shell starter script. Signed macOS app packaging comes after beta health diagnostics are stable.
