transfer them to a manager. That is, depositors’ money does not leave
their own accounts, but the manager can trade them.

the investor’s account and trades funds. But MAM accounts allow you to

at any time. PAMM accounts have a minimum trading period, during
which the trading account holder cannot influence their funds in any way.

trading on demo accounts. In the course of trading, you can study and
analyze the transactions of the managing trader, taking into account the
peculiarities of their trading, mistakes and accuracy of following money
management strategy.
