Forex brokers and PAMM accounts, who’s leading?

There are very many people who wish they could enter the Forex trading market. However, because of fear of losing their money, lack of time and even the complexity of the FX market, a majority of interested population keep off this lucrative industry. A solution comes in the name of Percentage Allocation Management Module or Percentage Allocation Money Management (PAMM). PAMM is a form of pooled FX trading system. An investor allocates his or her money in desired proportion to traders or money managers of choice. These professional traders may manage few or many Forex trading accounts using their own capital together with the pooled sums of money from investors in order to gain a profit.

What PAMM accounts to look for?

As you would expect, traders have different levels of success when it comes to portfolio management. The same case applies to Forex trading. This then means that investors will seek the traders who can deliver the highest rate of return consistently. An investor will have to sign an agreement whereby he or she agrees to take the risk for the FX trades made using their capital by the money managers. In the agreement, it is stated how much money or percentage the manager will charge for offering the services.
