How to read a trading account page

Page layout

Every account page has several parts: the manager and account profile, host broker and market, the selected methods and the current state of each path, performance and risk indicators, charts, terms and fees, and audits. A join or request action appears only for a path that is eligible at that moment. Always check the data-source status at the top of the page.

Account visibility is not readiness for every method

One master account can have several real paths. It may be visible through a traditional path while a proprietary path is closed. GAMM, CAMM, DAMM and SAMM each require current Sanjesh authorization for the same account and method, plus that method’s own readiness condition: a qualified mandate for GAMM, a current subscription and online direct sender for CAMM, and an online connection for the relevant DAMM or SAMM source.

Selecting a method in the registration form, a module badge, a data connection or an audit report does not by itself prove that the path is ready. The `/modules` introduction pages are not join pages; use only an action currently shown on the account page in TAM. If no action is shown for a method, do not treat that method as open merely because the account itself is visible.

The source and time of every figure

Each figure shows where it came from and when it was recorded:

• Verified with live data: read from the specified account through a read-only connection; check when data last arrived. The badge is not, by itself, an independent audit or a guarantee.
• Verified with broker statement: calculated from an official statement for the stated period and reviewed by a PAMM Iran analyst; check its source and coverage. This is not a full audit.
• Declared: entered by the manager and not confirmed by PAMM Iran from an independent source.
• Not up to date: the source has not sent fresh data for a while; the figure may not reflect the current state.
• Declared module: the manager declared participation for this account; the badge does not prove technical installation or activation. See module status.

The main indicators

Take maximum drawdown seriously

A fifty percent drop needs a one hundred percent gain to recover. The recovery calculator shows this relationship. Past maximum drawdown is not a ceiling for future drawdowns — see what maximum drawdown leaves out (Persian).

Account terms

Read the terms for the exact method you intend to use; selecting several methods on one account does not make every path’s terms identical.

• How profit and loss are shared, and the minimum capital.
• Performance, management, entry and exit fees and how they are calculated (Fees).
• The rollover window, lock-up and withdrawal terms (withdrawals and exit).
• The host broker and account type.

Audits

If an audit report has been published for the account, read its result, period and checked items in the report itself. An audit is a documented review of that period; it is not Sanjesh authorization, proof that any method is currently ready or a guarantee of the future. See account audits.

Three final questions

1. If the past maximum drawdown happened again, could I live with it?
2. Is the record long enough to cover different market conditions?
3. After fees, what is the net return? (Net return calculator)
