Automated Pepperstone Margin Level Alerts

Every hour during market hours, WebRun opens Pepperstone, reads open positions and current margin level, saves a dated snapshot to Google Drive, and posts a Slack alert the moment margin level drops within the danger threshold you set.

In short

How do I get alerted before my Pepperstone margin level gets dangerously low?

WebRun checks your open Pepperstone positions every hour during market hours, reading current margin level and free margin. It saves a dated snapshot to Google Drive each check and posts a Slack alert the moment margin level drops within the danger threshold you set, so tightening margin never goes unnoticed between checks.

  • Margin level is checked every hour during market hours, not just occasionally
  • A Slack alert arrives the same hour margin enters the danger threshold
  • A full hourly history builds up in Drive for reviewing risk later

Questions, answered

Will WebRun add funds or close a position to protect my margin?

No. WebRun only reads your positions and margin level and reports on them. It never opens, closes, or modifies a position on Pepperstone, and it never moves funds. Managing margin stays entirely your decision.

How is the danger threshold set?

You choose the margin level that counts as your danger zone when this is set up, and WebRun compares the live margin level against it every hour.

Why save a snapshot every hour?

The Drive archive gives you a full history of how your margin level moved over the trading day, useful context for reviewing your own risk management.
