In PAMM, money is only ever deposited to investment accounts. Balance operations on PAMM master accounts are prohibited — a manager who wants skin in the game creates their own PAMM investment account, subscribes it to their master, and funds that.
When a client creates a PAMM master account in the Web UI, an accompanying PAMM investment account is created and subscribed to it automatically — that is the manager’s own stake.
The Rules
- Funds move from the client’s wallet to the PAMM investment account; transfers between PAMM investment accounts are prohibited.
- Wallet and investment account must be denominated in the same currency.
- A PAMM investment account can be funded only after it is subscribed to a PAMM master.
Deposits Wait for the Rollover
PAMM balance operations are not executed immediately. Each deposit creates a request that is processed during the next rollover on the PAMM master — the moment when trading results are settled, funds are redistributed between investors, and pending deposits and withdrawals are executed.
The client transfers funds
In the Web UI the client moves money from their wallet to the PAMM investment account; the platform records a deposit request.
Review pending requests
Open the PAMM master or investment account in the Admin panel and check the Balance tab for pending and executed requests.
The rollover executes it
On the next rollover (scheduled, or triggered manually by the manager) the deposit lands in the pool and the investor’s share is recalculated.
For how the pool redistributes positions when money enters, see Allocation methods for PAMM and the worked example Reallocation on deposit and withdrawal in the concepts section.
