The master password grants full access to a trading account, whereas the investor password provides limited access, which includes restrictions on administrative and trading controls.
Investor passwords may be shared with third parties for the purpose of accessing trade data.
For more information, please refer to the table below:
Feature | Master Password | Investor Password |
Access Level | Provides full access to the trading account. | Provides read-only / limited access to the account. |
Trading Ability | Allows you to place, modify, and close trades. | Does not allow placing, modifying, or closing trades. |
Account Management | Enables administrative controls like changing passwords. | Restricted from performing any administrative or account management actions. |
Purpose | Intended for the account holder to manage their trading activity and account settings. | Designed for sharing account performance with third parties (e.g., analysts, investors, or for monitoring purposes). |
Risk Level | High risk — sharing this password could compromise the account since it gives full control. | Low risk — relatively safer than master password since it only allows viewing account data without the ability to trade or alter settings. |
Common Use Cases | Used by traders to actively manage and operate their trading account. | Used to provide transparency to others (e.g., mentors, investors, or auditing parties) without risking account security. |
Regardless of the type of password used, it is crucial for every client to ensure its security.
