# Set default allocation parameters for copy-trading and MAM master accounts
You can set the 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 each copy-trading and MAM master account in the Admin panel.
The selected allocation method and risk ratio will be applied by default when creating subscriptions to the master account in the Web UI.
To set the default allocation parameters for a master account:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Expand the **Copy Trading** or **MAM** menu.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Go to **Masters**.
{% 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 %}
Select the account and click the account number in the **Account Login** column to open the account details.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
On the **Properties** tab, locate the **Default Allocation Parameters** section.
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the [Proportional to Equity x Ratio](/copy-trading-pamm-and-mam-concepts/allocation-methods-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md#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 for the selected account, click **Edit** and choose 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.

## 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-master-and-investment-accounts/set-default-allocation-parameters-for-copy-trading-and-mam-master-accounts.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
