Built to Scale Your Managed Fund

Earn on Performance

Set a performance fee of up to 50%, calculated using each participant's personal High-Water Mark. You only earn when your fund generates new net profit above that participant's previous peak.

Manage Capital Through One Fund

Trade one pooled fund while participant allocations are tracked automatically. One execution point gives you a cleaner way to manage capital as your fund grows.

Set Clear Fund Terms

Define your performance fee, minimum allocation and opt-in term before participants join. Each participant accepts the LPOA terms upfront, giving both sides clarity around the fund structure.

Three steps to go live

step 1

Create Your Fund Manager Account

Open an ACY MT5 trading account, then connect it to Trading Cup to create your managed fund. Your trading account must be active, have no open positions and hold at least the minimum balance for its currency (2,000 USD, 2,900 AUD, 1,800 EUR, 1,600 GBP, 3,200 NZD, 2,600 CAD or 282,000 JPY) before the fund can be set up. This balance becomes your own first investment in the fund.

step 2

Set Your Fund Terms (LPOA)

Choose your performance fee, minimum allocation and opt-in term. Your clients review and accept the LPOA before joining your fund.

step 3

Accept Allocations and Trade

Review client requests and allocate approved funds when you are ready. Trade one pooled account while the platform tracks client allocations, performance and fee settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PAMM Fund Manager?

A Fund Manager establishes and manages a Fund on Tradingcup and makes the trading decisions for that Fund. The Fund Manager also establishes certain Commercial Terms, including the Performance Fee, minimum investment, maximum investment and Opt-in Term, subject to applicable platform requirements.

How do I become a Fund Manager?

Go to Managed Funds → Fund Manager and select Become a Fund Manager. You'll complete the Fund Manager onboarding process and establish your Fund before it can be made available to eligible clients. To open a Fund, you need an active MT5 trading account with no open positions and a minimum balance fixed per account currency (2,000 USD, 2,900 AUD, 1,800 EUR, 1,600 GBP, 3,200 NZD, 2,600 CAD or 282,000 JPY); that balance becomes your own investment in the Fund.

How does a PAMM Fund Manager receive Performance Fees?

A Fund Manager may receive the Performance Fee specified in the Fund's Commercial Terms when a client's applicable gains exceed their personal High Water Mark. Performance Fees are calculated individually for each client at the applicable settlement.

What happens when a client allocates funds to my Fund?

A new allocation appears for the Fund Manager to review and allocate to the Fund. This allows the Fund Manager to determine when the new funds begin participating in the Fund's trading activity. If the allocation is not actioned within 24 hours, it is automatically allocated to the Fund.

Can a Fund Manager remove a client from a Fund?

No. A Fund Manager cannot directly remove an individual client from the Fund. Clients manage their own participation through the applicable Tradingcup Fund controls.
