Automated E*TRADE Daily Account Digest
Every morning before the market opens, WebRun opens E*TRADE, reads your account balance, buying power, and watchlist quotes, posts a short digest to Slack, and separately pings Telegram only when a watchlist stock moved more than 5% overnight, so the urgent case reaches you even if you miss Slack.
How do I get a daily digest of my E*TRADE account before the market opens?
WebRun checks your E*TRADE account every morning before the open, reading your balance, buying power, and full watchlist. It posts a digest to Slack and sends a separate Telegram ping only when a watchlist stock moved more than 5% overnight, so you start the trading day informed without opening the app or missing a real mover.
- You start every trading day with balance and watchlist already summarized
- Only real overnight movers trigger a Telegram ping, so it never becomes noise
- No manual login before the open just to check what happened overnight

Questions, answered
Will WebRun buy or sell anything in my E*TRADE account?
No. WebRun only reads your balance and watchlist and reports on them. It never places, cancels, or modifies an order, and it never moves funds in or out of the account.
What counts as a big overnight move?
A watchlist symbol moving more than 5% from yesterday's close by default. That threshold can be tightened or loosened to match how sensitive you want the Telegram ping to be.
Does it check my whole portfolio or just the watchlist?
Both. Balance and buying power come from your full account, while the move detection is scoped to the symbols you have added to your watchlist.
