Deploy a fully branded money management ecosystem. PAMM for pooled funds, MAM for professional traders, and copy trading for retail investors — integrated with MT4, MT5, and cTrader.
Launch your copy trading platform →PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module), MAM (Multi-Account Manager), and Copy Trading are three distinct money management models that allow professional traders to manage multiple client accounts while earning performance fees.
PAMM pools client funds into a single master account. The money manager trades one master account, and profits or losses are distributed proportionally among all investors based on their share of the total pool. Investors do not see individual trades — only the master account's overall performance.
MAM keeps investor funds in separate individual accounts. Trades are replicated across these accounts using six allocation methods. Each investor sees all positions in their own account. Deposits and withdrawals are processed instantly.
Copy Trading operates as a marketplace where investors choose which masters to follow based on public performance data. Investors maintain full control — they can start or stop copying at any time, close individual copied positions manually, and set personal risk limits.
Higher trader engagement and retention when brokers offer copy trading features alongside PAMM and MAM. Successful brokerages deploy all three as layers of a single ecosystem to serve different client segments.

PAMM, MAM, and copy trading solutions tailored for Forex brokers, asset managers, and prop trading firms.

Professional money managers need robust infrastructure to manage multiple client accounts efficiently. MAM offers six allocation methods, while PAMM provides pooled fund management for investors seeking passive exposure.
Prop firms can leverage copy trading to help challenge participants learn from successful funded traders. This improves pass rates and creates a community-driven learning environment.

A PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) system allows forex brokers to offer managed accounts where investors allocate funds to experienced money managers. All investor funds are pooled into a single master account. The manager trades this one account, and profits or losses are distributed proportionally among all investors based on their share of the total pool. PAMM is ideal for passive investors who want professional money management without active involvement.
MAM (Multi-Account Manager) keeps investor funds in separate individual accounts. The manager's trades are replicated across these accounts using one of six allocation methods: Proportional to Balance, Proportional to Equity, Proportional to Balance x Ratio, Proportional to Equity x Ratio, Fixed Lot Allocation, or Ratio Multiplier. Unlike PAMM, each investor sees all positions in their own account, and deposits/withdrawals are processed instantly. MAM is preferred by professional money managers who need full trade visibility for their clients.
Copy trading operates as a marketplace where investors choose which master traders to follow based on public performance data. As soon as a follower hits 'Copy', their portfolio automatically replicates the chosen trader's moves in real-time — including opening, closing, and adjusting positions proportionally. Investors maintain full control: they can start or stop copying at any time, close individual copied positions manually, and set personal risk limits. Copy trading is best suited for retail investors and beginners who want to learn from experienced traders while potentially earning profits.

Brokers should offer all three models to serve different client segments and maximize revenue opportunities.
MAM systems support six allocation methods for distributing trades across investor accounts:
This flexibility allows money managers to tailor their allocation strategy to different client profiles and risk tolerances.
High-Water Mark is a performance fee protection mechanism that ensures money managers only earn performance fees on new profits. If a manager loses money in a period, they must recover those losses before charging performance fees again. This protects investors from paying fees on the same profits multiple times and aligns the manager's incentives with long-term investor returns — the manager only earns fees when investors are actually profitable.
PAMM, MAM, and copy trading solutions integrate with all major trading platforms:
Cross-server and cross-platform replication allows investors to copy trades across different platforms in a single unified network.
