The MAM panel can be found by navigating to Tools -> MAM. This panel gives indicative information on both groups and linked accounts. The panel also features a built-in Order entry panel for quick trading. The MAM panel can be linked to other panels. The MAM panel can be closed after use without saving - all changes are saved automatically.
To create a MAM group, open the MAM panel and click Create group.
Now, enter a group name and choose an Allocation type. Click on the button in column "Remove" to delete the group from the list.
The following columns are available in the Groups section:

Allocation type – allows choosing the type of allocation for sub accounts included in MAM group. Four types are available here:
Lot multiplier – this method is used to allocate quantity of the master trade to the sub accounts included to the MAM group according to the coefficient set for each of these sub accounts which will be multiplied on master trade quantity.
Lot allocation – this method is used to divide quantity of the master trade to the sub accounts included to the MAM group according to the set Lot coefficient of the sub accounts. The allocation to the sub accounts will be proportional to the set lot sizes provided for each of them.
Proportional by balance – this method is to calculate the proportion of the master trade quantity (which is set in OE section by MAM manager) according to the balances of the sub accounts included to the MAM group. The fraction of the master trade quantity is calculated automatically and doesn’t require additional settings.
Proportional by projected balance – this method is to calculate the proportion of the master trade quantity (which is set in OE section by MAM manager) according to the projected balances of the sub accounts included to the MAM group. The fraction of the master trade quantity is calculated automatically and doesn’t require additional settings.
Remove – the button which is used to delete selected MAM group.
The group is now created and accounts can be added to it. To add an account, click Add account. To delete an account, click on the button in "Remove" column.

Percent of net liquidation value – this fee type is taken daily at the end of each trading day (is set in %).
Flat fee – this fee is taken daily at the end of each trading day.
Percent of annual P/L – this commission is taken one-time at the end of the year (is set in %).
Percent of Market-to Market P/L – this fee is taken by the same logic as a previous one, only as a base of calculation is taken not an annual, but quarterly profit. And fee is taken in the end of each quarter respectively.
Management fee – shows value of the corresponding fee type set for accounts added to the MAM group.
