What is Profit Allocation (%) for Omni?

Profit Allocation (%) defines what percentage of the realized profit from a completed trading cycle is allocated into the active trading area.

This enables Omni Assist to dynamically scale position size, allocating profit precisely where trading activity occurred — without manual intervention.

When is Profit Allocation applied?

Profit Allocation is triggered only after a full trading (grid) cycle is completed, meaning:

  • All sell orders in the cycle are fully closed

  • Partial fills and open cycles do not trigger allocation

Once the cycle closes, realized profit is allocated based on where trading was active at the moment of closure.

📌 Important:

Profit Allocation happens only after the final step — when the trading cycle is fully completed.

How Profit Allocation works

Cycle completes in the Main Grid

If all sell orders are closed in the Main Grid:

  • Profit is allocated across:

    • Main Grid orders

    • DCA orders

Requirement

  • Trailing Up must be ON

This allows the grid structure to expand correctly when profit is allocated.

Cycle completes in the DCA Grid

If the cycle completes in the DCA Grid:

  • Profit is allocated only into DCA sub-grid orders

  • The Main Grid is not affected

This ensures profit allocation remains focused on the area where recovery trading occurred.

How to set up Profit Allocation

  1. Open Create Omni Assist

  2. Configure your Main Grid and DCA settings

  3. Locate Profit Allocation (%)

  4. Enter a value between 0% and 100%

  5. Review your configuration and create the strategy

Tip:

A value between 30–50% provides balanced scaling without aggressive exposure growth.

Examples

Example 1: Main Grid profit allocation

  • Profit Allocation: 50%

  • Realized profit: $100

  • Cycle completes in Main Grid

Result

  • $50 is allocated to active trading

  • Allocation is distributed across:

    • Main Grid orders

    • DCA orders

Example 2: DCA Grid profit allocation

  • Profit Allocation: 100%

  • Realized profit: $80

  • Cycle completes in DCA Grid

Result

  • $80 is allocated only into DCA sub-grid orders

  • Main Grid order size remains unchanged

Example 3: Profit Allocation disabled

  • Profit Allocation: 0%

  • Realized profit: $60

Result

  • No profit is allocated

  • Strategy continues with original order sizes

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatically scales position size

  • Allocates profit where trading activity occurred

  • No manual capital management required

  • Improves adaptability in trending and volatile markets

  • Predictable and transparent logic

Cons

  • Higher allocation increases exposure over time

  • Trailing Up is required for Main Grid allocation

  • Profit is applied only after full cycle completion

  • Not suitable for fixed-size strategies

FAQ

  1. What is a trading (grid) cycle?

    A trading cycle is a complete sequence of grid/omni trading activity that:

    • Starts when the first buy order is filled

    • Ends when all related sell orders are fully closed

    Only completed trading cycles can trigger Profit Allocation.

  2. When exactly is Profit Allocation triggered?

    Immediately after the final sell order of a trading cycle is routed and the cycle is closed.

  3. Why is Trailing Up required for Main Grid allocation?

    Trailing Up allows the Main Grid to expand upward. Without it, allocated profit cannot be correctly distributed across grid levels.

  4. What happens if Profit Allocation is set to 0%?

    No profit is allocated. The strategy continues trading with the same structure and order sizes.

  5. Does Profit Allocation affect risk?

    Yes. Higher Profit Allocation values increase position size over time, which can increase overall market exposure.

  6. Can Profit Allocation be changed after the strategy starts?

    No. Profit Allocation is defined during strategy creation and applies to all future completed trading cycles.

  7. How can I get access to Profit allocation?

    With this addon, you can have access to Profit Allocation DCA

Summary

  • Profit Allocation applies after a full trading cycle is completed

  • Allocation depends on where the cycle closes

  • Main Grid allocation requires Trailing Up

  • Configurable from 0% to 100%

  • Enables dynamic, activity-based strategy scaling
