# Create a subscription
To follow and copy the trading strategies of other traders, you need to subscribe to their master accounts.
{% hint style="info" %}
For **copy trading** and **MAM**, a single investment account can be subscribed to multiple master accounts, allowing multiple subscriptions per investment account.
For **PAMM**, each PAMM investment account can be subscribed to only one PAMM master account, meaning that multiple subscriptions aren't allowed.
{% endhint %}
To subscribe your investment account to a master account:
In the main menu, expand the respective item, such as **B2COPY**, **MAM**, or **PAMM**, and then click **Leaderboard** under the desired platform, if more than one is available.
Select a master account you want to subscribe to.
{% hint style="info" %}
Before subscribing to a master account, it is advisable to view the account details by clicking on the corresponding row on the **Leaderboard**. This enables you to access information such as the trading summary, the **Return** and **Equity/Balance** charts, a record of open and closed positions, the specified fee plan for the account, and so on.
For details, refer to [Use the Leaderboard to find the best-performing master accounts](/user-guide/use-the-leaderboard-to-find-the-best-performing-master-accounts.md)
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
If the minimum deposit amount is assigned to a master account, it is displayed in the **Leaderboard** under the **+Follow** button.
The [minimum deposit](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] is always denoted and displayed in `USD` on all Web UI pages.
{% endhint %}
To subscribe to the selected master account, click **+Follow**.
In the **Create new subscription** popup, do the following:
* If you have several investment accounts available for subscription, expand the dropdown and select the account that you want to subscribe to the master account.
Alternatively, you can create a new investment account by clicking **Create new** (for details, refer to [Create an investment account](/admin-guide/manage-master-and-investment-accounts/create-an-investment-account.md)).
* For copy-trading subscriptions, you may be able to select the [allocation method](/copy-trading-pamm-and-mam-concepts/allocation-methods-for-copy-trading-and-mam.md) and risk ratio to apply to your subscription. The respective fields can be displayed or hidden by the B2COPY investment platform admin.
* View the fee plan specified for the master account. This plan will be applied to your subscription. In accordance with the plan, fees will be charged periodically at the listed rates.
* Read the terms and conditions, and check the box to accept them.

To create the subscription, click **Subscribe**.
Deposit funds into your investment account:
* In the **Deposit from** dropdown, select a wallet or another available account from which you want to transfer funds. In the **Deposit amount** field, enter the amount to transfer, and click **Make a deposit now**.
* Alternatively, you can transfer funds to your investment account at any time after creating the subscription on the **Transfer** page (for details, refer to [Deposit funds to your copy-trading and MAM accounts](/user-guide/manage-deposits-and-withdrawals/deposit-funds-to-your-copy-trading-and-mam-accounts.md) or [Deposit funds to your PAMM accounts](/user-guide/manage-deposits-and-withdrawals/deposit-funds-to-your-pamm-accounts.md)). To skip the deposit step, click **Cancel**.

## The minimum deposit for copy trading and MAM
If you're subscribing to a copy-trading or MAM master account with a minimum deposit requirement, your investment account balance must meet the specified minimum deposit amount. Otherwise, the subscription won't be created.
If your investment account balance is insufficient, you'll be prompted at the final step of the subscription process to transfer the required minimum amount, which is displayed in the **Deposit amount** field, or more.

If you choose not to transfer the required funds at this step, the subscription won't be created.
## The minimum deposit for PAMM
If you're subscribing to a PAMM master account that has a minimum deposit requirement, you must use your zero-balance PAMM investment account that isn't yet subscribed. For PAMM, the process is as follows: first, create the subscription, and then deposit the required minimum amount into the investment account to activate the subscription.
You can transfer the minimum deposit to your PAMM investment account at any time after creating the subscription (for details, refer to [Deposit funds to your PAMM accounts](/user-guide/manage-deposits-and-withdrawals/deposit-funds-to-your-pamm-accounts.md)).

Furthermore, to keep the subscriptions active, the same minimum balance must be maintained on the investment accounts after withdrawals.
