# Create a Group
**Creating a group of accounts**
Go to the Accounts menu, the Groups tab and click Create.
1. From the Exchange list, select the exchange that owns the connected group of accounts. After selecting the exchange, all accounts which are connected to this exchange will be displayed.
2. Add the group name.
3. Select Master Account from the drop-down list.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Master account is the account on which trading is carried out. All accounts included into the group will duplicate trading on the master account within one exchange.
If an order is placed on the master account in group trading mode, then operations of changing/deleting this order are automatically replicated to all orders of the group. If the order of a subordinate account is changed/deleted from group trading by the user in personal mode, then it is removed from group trading mode.
{% endhint %}
4. From the list, connect accounts that will be formed into the group.
5. Click the Create button to add the new group.
The created group displays the following information:
1\. Exchange name.
2\. Group name.
3\. Activity indicator.\
 Blue - all accounts of the group are active.\
 Grey - group trading is suspended.\
 Red - connection in one of the accounts included to the group is interrupted.
\
4\. Master account name.
5\. Number of connected accounts to the group.
6\. Pause trading in the group.\
7\. Edit the group. Changing the master account or adding/removing accounts from the group is possible anytime. In case of removing an account from the group, all its orders and positions are saved, but an ability of mirror trading on it is cancelled.
8\. Delete the group. If the group is deleted, all orders and positions on all accounts are saved, but an ability of mirror trading on all accounts is cancelled.
{% hint style="info" %}
A pause stops placing new orders, and also editing and closing both orders and positions. Previously created orders are saved.
{% endhint %}

## 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://avstrade.gitbook.io/avstrade-docs-en/trading/group-trading/create-a-group.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.
