MAM Accounts (Multi Account Manager)

One Master Account, Individual Client Accounts

A MAM setup connects a manager’s master account with participating client accounts. Trading activity is allocated across those accounts, while each client’s balance, margin and trading results remain relevant to their own participation.

For money managers, this creates a central point for managing trading activity across their client base. Trade volumes are distributed according to the configured allocation method, reducing the need to switch between accounts. The allocation options, account requirements and client permissions should be established during setup.

For clients, MAM provides a way to have trading activity managed within a linked account. Before joining, understand the manager’s authority, how trades will be sized and which fees apply. Following the same strategy does not necessarily produce identical results across accounts, and each account remains exposed to trading losses.

Access MAM through your zForex client panel.

FAQs About MAM Accounts at zForex

Is a MAM account a form of copy trading?

MAM can work in a similar way, with trades from a master account allocated across linked client accounts. The distinction is that MAM operates under an account management arrangement. The manager’s trading authority and the client’s ability to adjust or stop trading depend on the service’s permissions and terms.

Why can linked accounts have different trading results?

Allocated trade sizes, available margin, execution prices and trading costs can differ between accounts. Joining at different times can also mean clients participate in different sets of trades, even under the same manager.

What happens if a client account has insufficient free margin?

Insufficient free margin can prevent an account from opening its allocated position. Confirm how the MAM setup handles rejected orders and allocation limits, particularly when linked accounts have different balances or existing positions.

Can a client place their own trades while connected to MAM?

This depends on the permissions and terms of the arrangement. Confirm what is allowed before linking the account. Manual trades can affect available margin and overall exposure, so their impact on managed trading needs to be understood.

Does disconnecting from MAM automatically close open positions?

Do not assume that disconnecting closes existing trades. Check the exit procedure, including how open positions will be handled, who will manage them and when the account stops receiving new allocations.

Is managing a MAM account the same as being an IB?

No. MAM manager makes trading decisions for participating accounts under the relevant authorisation. Being an IB does not automatically give someone permission to manage client trading.
