How does the Fair Forex MAM work?

What is a MAM Account?

MAM stands for Multi-Account-Manager and is designed for fund and money managers to trade on behalf of multiple clients for a % of the profits. This makes it easy for money managers to execute block trades for multiple clients at the same time, and easily manage risk from one account. Fair Forex MAM is available on MT4 and MT5.

The money manager’s account is called the master account. His investors accounts are called “slave” accounts.  The agreed % of profit that the money manager makes goes to an “incentive account”.

How does the Fair Forex MAM work?

The money manager uses the Master account to open and close all trades. The accounts that follow him are called slave accounts. The lot sizes of trades opened in each slave account are automatically calculated according to the available margin. The master account controls all slave accounts. If the investor wants to prevent any further trading in their slave account they must contact their money manager directly. If this isn’t possible, they can contact support who will disconnect it within 24 hours when FX market is open. Once the slave account is disconnected all open trades are automatically closed. The investor can withdraw funds from their slave account as long as there are no open trades and there is sufficient margin.

How do I invest in a MAM?

Fair Forex do not complete any due diligence on money mangers and therefore we are not able to recommend anyone. However we can provide a list of money managers who use Fair Forex MAM and their contact details so that you can contact them directly and do your own due diligence before you invest. For information, please email: support@fairforexfx.com

What due diligence should I do?

Typical questions you should ask a money manager before investing are:

1. What is your trading style?
2. What pairs do you trade?
3. What is your risk management policy?
4. Do you hedge positions?
5. What risk reward strategy do you use? 
6. What are your trading results to date? 

Ask to see their trading history from the last 6-12 months. If they refuse this should be a red flag! 

In addition, we recommend that you seek independent advice before investing.
