# Create copy-trading and MAM subscriptions

You can create a copy-trading or MAM subscription by linking an investment account to a master account in the Admin panel.

In both copy trading and MAM, a single investment account can be subscribed to multiple master accounts, meaning that an investment account may have several subscriptions.

To create a subscription:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Expand the **Copy Trading** or **MAM** menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Go to **Links**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If you have several platform instances (such as MT4, MT5, or cTrader), make sure you are in the correct instance, or go to it using the switcher in the upper-left page corner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Create** in the upper-right page corner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the displayed popup, complete the following:

## Accounts

* In the **MA Login** field, enter the number of the master account.
* In the **IA Login** field, enter the number of the investment account.

## Allocation parameters

* In the **Allocation method** dropdown, select the allocation method for the subscription or leave the default one.

  For more details about allocation methods, refer to [Allocation methods for copy trading and MAM](/copy-trading-pamm-and-mam-concepts/allocation-methods-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md).
* In the **Risk ratio** field, enter a numeric value or use the default value `1`.

  The risk ratio only works with allocation methods that use the risk ratio in their formulas.
* In the **Copy Direction** dropdown, select one of the following options:
  * **Normal** – this option doesn't change a trade side when positions are copied from a master account to an investment account. For example, if a master trader opens a *sell* position, this position is copied as a *sell* position for an investor.
  * **Reverse** – this option changes a trade side when positions are copied from a master account to an investment account. For example, if a master trader opens a *sell* position, this position is copied as a *buy* position for an investor.
* Enable the **Send email** checkbox to send the clients notifications with subscription details.
* Enable the checkbox **Make a 'subs' balance operation ater a new subscription and an 'unsub' balance operation after unsubscription** to create zero-balance operations with comments on the master and investment accounts, helping to track the subscription. Leave the checkbox disabled to skip adding comments for this subscription.

For more details, refer to [Balance operations](/admin-panel-guide/manage-b2copy-settings/configure-trading-settings-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md#balance-operations).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Create**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The newly created subscription appears on the **Links** page.

## 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-panel-guide/manage-links/create-copy-trading-and-mam-subscriptions.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.
