Questions, answered

Will it place or close any trades?

No. WebRun reads your account and writes the numbers down. It never opens a position, closes one, funds the account, or changes an order, and it gives no trading advice.

Where does the record live?

In your own Google Calendar as one dated entry per night, plus the Telegram message. Nothing is stored outside the apps you connected.

Why keep a nightly snapshot at all?

It builds a week by week history for your own bookkeeping and tax paperwork, so you are not reconstructing the year from statements when the deadline comes.

Put this on autopilot.
