What to choose: Copy Trading Signals or PAMM Strategy Investing?

Copy Trading and PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) accounts are two distinct investment approaches that allow investors to participate in Forex trading without directly executing trades themselves. 

Here are the key differences between the two:

Control Over Funds: 

• In PAMM: Investors' funds are pooled together and managed by an independent trader who has full control over the trading decisions. Investors can only check their balance and make deposit/withdrawal requests.
• In Copy Trading: Investors maintain control over their own trading accounts and can choose to follow the trading strategies of independent traders by copying their trades. Investors can choose and adjust their follower's parameters or even interrupt the trades manually on your investor account (it is not recommended but possible).

Profit Distribution:

• In PAMM: Investors' funds are pooled together and managed by an independent trader who has full control over the trading decisions. Investors can only check their balance and make deposit/withdrawal requests.
• In Copy Trading: Investors benefit directly from the profits generated by the signals they follow.

Flexibility:

• In PAMM: Investors have limited flexibility as they cannot directly influence the trading decisions made by the PAMM manager.
• In Copy Trading: Investors have more flexibility as they can choose which strategies to follow, adjust their risk exposure, and switch between signal providers.

Fees:

• In PAMM: Investors are typically charged a performance fee by the PAMM manager, in addition to other fees like spreads.
• In Copy Trading: Investors may be charged a performance fee and any additional fees by the copy trading signal, on top of the spread charged by the broker.

In summary, PAMM accounts offer a more hands-off approach where investors entrust their funds to an independent PAMM manager, while social trading allows investors to maintain control over their accounts and follow the strategies of their choice.

The choice between the two depends on an investor's risk tolerance, desired level of involvement, and trading goals.
