Questions, answered

Is it safe to run unattended?

Yes. This summary only reads inventory and open contracts in Ceres and sends you an internal Telegram note. It places no trade, changes no contract, and contacts no producer, so it is safe to run every morning.

How is the long or short position calculated?

It nets your owned bushels on hand plus open purchase contracts minus open sale contracts in Ceres, so a grain with more sold than owned and bought shows short, and the reverse shows long.

Does it recommend or place hedges?

No. WebRun only reports your net position and how it moved. Every hedging or trading decision stays entirely with you and your merchandising desk.
