Automatic OANDA Margin Level Alerts

Every hour, WebRun signs in to OANDA, reads the account balance, the open positions with their unrealized profit and loss, and the margin used against margin available, then messages you on WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams only when margin available falls under the level you set.

In short

How do I get alerted when my trading account margin runs low?

WebRun watches your OANDA margin every hour. It reads the account balance, open positions, margin used, and margin available, then alerts you on WhatsApp and logs the reading in Microsoft Teams whenever margin available crosses the level you set. WebRun only reports and never trades.

  • A tight margin is known within the hour, not at a stop out
  • The alert names the positions carrying the largest unrealized loss
  • WebRun reads only, so no trade is ever placed for you

Questions, answered

Will it close a position to free up margin?

Never. WebRun only reads the account and reports the numbers. It never opens, closes, or adjusts a trade, and it never moves funds. Every trading decision is yours to make and to place.

Is this financial advice?

No. WebRun reports the figures already shown in your own account: balance, margin used, margin available, and open positions. It offers no view on what to do, and you should take your own advice on that.

Does it message me every hour?

No. It stays quiet unless margin available crosses the level you set, so a message means the account genuinely needs your attention rather than being routine noise.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
