Automated XTB Position Event Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens XTB, reads open positions and current margin level, matches each instrument to relevant events on the week economic calendar, adds a Google Calendar reminder ahead of each one, and posts a Microsoft Teams heads up.

In short

How do I get reminded before economic events affect my open XTB positions?

WebRun reviews your open XTB positions every morning and matches each instrument to relevant events on the week's economic calendar. It adds a Google Calendar reminder ahead of every relevant release and posts a Microsoft Teams heads up with current margin level, so you never get caught off guard by a scheduled announcement.

  • Relevant economic events are matched to your positions before they happen, not after
  • Margin level is visible every morning without opening the platform
  • A running calendar of event reminders replaces manually checking the news

Questions, answered

Will WebRun close a position before a big announcement?

No. WebRun only reads your open positions and matches them to scheduled events. It never opens, closes, or modifies a position in XTB and never moves funds. Managing the position around the event stays your call.

Where does the economic calendar come from?

It reads the same scheduled economic releases available in XTB, then matches the instrument in each release to your open positions.

What if I have no open positions?

Then no reminders or alerts go out that day. It only surfaces events relevant to positions you actually hold.

Put this on autopilot.
