CAMM direct-copy software: follow a strategy without handing over your password

At a glance

This guide is for CAMM, PAMM Iran's proprietary direct-copy method—not traditional copy trading run by a broker or an external service. With CAMM, your trading account and your money stay with the broker, in your name. You never give your trading password to anyone, PAMM Iran included. A small expert advisor called the receiver runs on your own MetaTrader or VPS, reads the manager's signed trades from PAMM Iran and executes them on your account at the volume you choose.

Step one: choose a strategy

Qualified accounts are in the CAMM accounts catalog; the CAMM method page lists no strategies. The catalog is not a ranking. Each follow offer appears only on that account's own page in the current CAMM catalogue and only while the account is currently public, ready for CAMM and its direct sender is online. Before following:

1. Read the source account's full page: drawdown, losing months, the data label and source, when data last arrived, and history. The guide to reading an account page helps.
2. Read the strategy description on that same page: symbols, trading style and suggested minimum capital.
3. If no CAMM offer appears on the account page, that account has no live offer now—including when the manager's sender is not connected.

Step two: copy settings

Press "Follow" and set the following:

Step three: install the receiver EA

After you submit, a key and a secret are shown. The secret is shown only once, so save it.

1. From your copy trading panel page, download the receiver for MetaTrader 4 or 5, place it in the Experts folder and compile it in MetaEditor.
2. In MetaTrader, open Tools › Options › Expert Advisors, turn on Allow WebRequest and add the server URL shown.
3. Drop the EA on a chart, turn on Algo Trading and enter the key, secret and server URL.
4. In the receiver's own inputs, set `InpDailyLossPct` and `InpHedgeBufferPct` to the exact values shown on that follow's card in `/my/copy`. The web form does not send those two local inputs to MetaTrader, and the receiver also checks the daily limit locally in the terminal.
5. If the EA reports a different account, the registered account number does not match the account you have open. The EA deliberately refuses to trade on any other account.

For uninterrupted copying the terminal must stay on. Most traders use a VPS.

Fees

Some strategies are free and some charge a monthly fee. You pay from the same copy trading panel page with a verified card or IBAN in your own name. While a period is unpaid, no new trade is copied, but closing of open trades is still followed so you are never left in an orphaned position.

Why your result differs from the manager's

• Delay: a trade reaches your account a few seconds later. If it arrives after the strategy's maximum allowed delay, it is not opened at all, so you never enter at a stale price.
• Volume and rounding: if the calculated volume is below your broker's minimum lot, that trade is skipped.
• Different broker: spreads, commissions and symbol names may differ. The EA settings let you enter your broker's symbol suffix.
• Joining mid-way: trades opened before you started following are not copied.

The "Executed / skipped" column on your copy trading panel page shows how many trades were executed on or skipped for your account.

Pause, resume and stop

• Pause: no new trades are copied; closing of open trades is still followed.
• Resume: the platform follow becomes active again and the start-equity measuring point for the overall limit is reset from the receiver's next report. This button neither opens nor closes any position or opposite order in the terminal; check the open positions and stop-hedge state in your terminal before resuming.
• Stop following: the connection ends and the EA does nothing further. Open trades remain on your account and closing them is your decision.
• New secret: if you think the EA secret has leaked, create a new one; the old secret stops working immediately.

Security

• Every EA request is signed with your secret, and replayed or forged requests are rejected.
• PAMM Iran has no trading password, investor password or withdrawal access for your account.
• The manager sees nothing about your account except the number of followers.

Before you start

Leveraged trading is high risk and can lose all of your capital. An account's past returns do not guarantee the future, and the accounts catalog is not investment advice. The full conditions are in the copy trading terms of use. If you are an account manager, read the copy trading guide for managers.
