Frequently Asked QuestionsInvestment & Social Trading expert answers
Everything brokers, fintech founders, and money managers ask before deploying investment infrastructure.
What is the difference between PAMM and MAM?
In a PAMM, investor funds are pooled into one master account and trades are executed for the total combined volume. Profits and losses are distributed by percentage share, so all investors receive the same entry and exit prices. In a MAM, investors keep individual accounts and the manager executes a block trade that is split across sub-accounts by lot, equity, balance, or percentage.
How does copy trading differ from PAMM or MAM?
Copy trading is a retail-facing ecosystem with a public marketplace where followers choose strategy providers. PAMM and MAM are institutional managed-account structures usually operated by a professional manager for a closed investor group.
What is a trade copier and how does it differ from MAM?
A trade copier is a pure technical replication engine. It mirrors trades from one account to many accounts but does not include the full managed-account billing, reporting, investor portal, or legal structure that a MAM provides.
Does the PAMM module support High-Water Mark fees?
Yes. The PAMM module includes High-Water Mark logic, so performance fees are charged only when investor equity exceeds its previous peak.
Can MAM support Expert Advisors and automated strategies?
Yes. Any EA running on the MAM master account can be replicated across linked sub-accounts according to configured allocation rules.
How many investors can one PAMM or MAM master support?
Both solutions are designed for unlimited investor accounts per master, backed by server-side plugin architecture and high-availability database clusters.

Are all solutions white-label ready?
Yes. Investor portals, manager dashboards, public leaderboards, performance reports, mobile apps, and email notifications can be presented under your brand.
Does the trade copier work when my computer is turned off?
Yes. The cloud-based Trade Copier runs on secure servers 24/7, so local terminals, personal VPS instances, and computers do not need to remain running after setup.
