Is there a complete guide to trading options at Interactive Brokers using your tools? I am looking to buy/sell sophisticated spreads on SPX and others. Does your tool work for that?

The most "Complete Guide" would be a combination of the information in Help (F1) > Interactive Brokers and the blog article:
Backtest and Auto-Trade Options with WealthLab
Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem if you're good with C# Code. There are no blocks for this unless you're actually trading single contracts in a chart.
What kind of sophisticated spreads are you talking about it?

Everything from Iron Condors to Double Diagonals and more.
Sure, it's just a matter of creating methods to identify the strikes for the contracts and managing the positions.
The blog gives a good example of that with the Straddle and Spread template.

What triggers to enter/exit are available. I am looking for opening range breakout entries but can't seem to find it.
Anything is available because there are no limits (so to speak) to a C# coded strategy.
Re: opening range breakout
Define it precisely. What is the instrument (underlier?), how is the range defined, and when is a breakout determined. Then you need to express this in code.

If you need a hand with something, just let me know. I can get you started.
I don't know C#. I probably need to hire someone to write this for me. Is that service available or would I have to find an outside contractor... for example if I'd like to have the software buy a specific delta call if the SPX trades above the high of the range it establishes by a certain time. Is the software capable of doing that?
Of course it is.
