A managed forex account is a normal forex trading account that can be opened on a reputable forex broker.
What makes it a managed account is that the trading will be managed or done by a forex trader whom the owner of the account has employed.
The investor is the sole owner of the account and he will ensure he sets the required restrictions on the account so that third parties will not be able to deposit or withdraw profits from the account.
As a result, the money manager or account manager will be able to perform only trading activities on this type of account.
This account can be gotten from any reputable forex broker.
There are two popular managed forex account types that one can choose from.
- Individual Managed Forex Account
- Pamm Account
Individual Managed Forex account
The individual-managed forex account is owned by a person or investor who has deposited a certain amount into the account.
