# Set the default allocation parameters for a copy-trading or MAM master account

After creating a copy-trading or MAM master account, you can set the default allocation parameters, such as the [allocation method](/copy-trading-pamm-and-mam-concepts/allocation-methods-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md) and risk ratio, for that account. These parameters will be applied by default when clients create subscriptions to master accounts in the Web UI.

To set the default allocation parameters:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **Investment Platform** and expand the required platform instance.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
For copy-trading master accounts, navigate to **B2COPY** > **Masters**.\
For MAM master accounts, navigate to **MAM** > **Masters**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the master account, and then click **Edit**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the **Properties** tab, go to the **Default Allocation Parameters** section.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the [Proportional to Equity x Ratio](#proportional-to-equity-x-ratio-default) method and the risk ratio of **1** are applied to all newly created copy-trading and MAM master accounts.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If you want to change these settings, select another method in the **Allocation Method** dropdown and enter a new ratio in the **Risk Ratio** field.

The risk ratio is only required for [allocation methods](/copy-trading-pamm-and-mam-concepts/allocation-methods-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md) that support it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2copy.b2broker.com/admin-guide/manage-master-and-investment-accounts/set-the-default-allocation-parameters-for-a-copy-trading-or-mam-master-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
