Index IBKR Flex reports with LlamaIndex

Use `send_flex_request` and `get_flex_statement` to pull your reports directly into your knowledge base. LlamaIndex then parses these statements so you can ask questions about your past performance. Instead of digging through PDFs, you just query your index. The data becomes part of your searchable memory.

Ground LlamaIndex answers in IBKR data

Integrate `get_account_summary` into your RAG pipeline to ensure your agent knows your current financial standing. It stops the agent from hallucinating about available margin or cash. When you ask a question, the agent retrieves the actual account numbers. It uses real data to formulate the response.

Searchable market insights in LlamaIndex

Pull snapshots using `get_market_data_snapshot` and store them in your vector index. You can compare current prices against historical data points you've previously indexed. This creates a context-heavy environment for your agent. You're effectively building a searchable archive of market conditions tied to your specific interests.
