At Eurotrader, we believe in transparency and education to help our clients make informed decisions. Here's a breakdown of the main risks associated with PAMM investing, and how they apply within the Eurotrader platform.

PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) investing offers a convenient way for investors to access the financial markets without having to manage trades themselves. However, like all financial investments, it involves risks.

1. Market Risk

The most fundamental risk in PAMM investing is market risk — the potential for losses due to price fluctuations in the traded instruments. Regardless of how experienced a Money Manager is, market volatility can lead to losses, especially in high-leverage environments like Forex or CFDs.

At Eurotrader: All PAMM trades are executed on your behalf through the Money Manager’s strategy. While we provide tools to monitor your performance and manage risk, you should be aware that losses are possible, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

2. Manager Performance Risk

Choosing the right Money Manager is critical. Not all managers perform equally, and even experienced traders can go through periods of underperformance or make poor trading decisions.

At Eurotrader: We provide detailed Money Manager profiles, trading histories, and performance charts via the PAMM portal. You are encouraged to review this data before connecting your account. We also offer the flexibility to disconnect from a Money Manager at any time.

3. Lack of Control Over Trades

Once you allocate funds to a Money Manager, you cannot intervene in their trades. Your account mirrors their trading activity proportionally.

At Eurotrader: You retain control over your risk settings, such as setting Stop Loss or Take Profit levels through the PAMM portal. If you are not comfortable with the manager’s activity, you can disconnect and reallocate your funds.

4. Leverage Risk

High leverage can magnify gains but also increases losses. PAMM accounts are subject to the leverage selected by the investor, but risk is amplified when managers trade volatile instruments with high exposure.

At Eurotrader: When creating your PAMM – INVESTOR account, you choose your leverage. Make sure your choice aligns with your risk appetite. We also offer educational materials and support to help you understand how leverage impacts your investment.

5. Liquidity Risk

There may be delays in withdrawing funds or disconnecting from a Money Manager, especially during open trades or in volatile markets.

At Eurotrader: You can request withdrawals or disconnections at any time, but actions may be queued until trading positions are closed, in line with platform rules. You can also choose to avoid managers who restrict withdrawals during open trades.

6. Technical and System Risks

System downtime, connectivity issues, or errors in trade execution may affect performance or access to your account.

At Eurotrader: We use robust infrastructure and real-time PAMM integration with MT4/MT5 platforms to minimize technical risks. Our dedicated support team is available to assist with any platform issues.
