PAMM

A PAMM strategy is a pooled fund. Investors put money in, it all sits in one trading account, and a manager trades that account for everyone at once. You own a share of the pool, and your share goes up and down with the manager’s results.

You never get trading access. You can watch how the strategy is doing on its page, and you decide when to put money in or take it out. That’s it.

How it compares

  • PAMM: your money joins a pool in the manager’s account. You hold a share of the pool, not your own positions.
  • MAM: your money stays in your own trading account, and the manager’s trades are placed into it for you.
  • Copy Trading: you link a trading account you already have, and the strategy’s trades are copied into it.

Two things to know first

Your investment is counted in units, not dollars. Units are your slices of the pool. What they’re worth goes up and down with the strategy. The number that matters is your current value, which Portal shows in your currency. See Units, unit price and your value.

Money moves at a rollover, not straight away. When you invest or withdraw, your request waits until the strategy’s next rollover, usually once a day at a set time in UTC. See Rollovers and pending requests.

Most questions we get about PAMM come back to one of those two.
