Preparation: Assess Your Trading Goals
Before diving into the technical setup, take a moment to clarify your trading objectives:
Market Outlook: Do you expect sideways movement, an uptrend, or possible downside?
Risk Tolerance: How aggressive or conservative do you want your strategy to be?
Capital Allocation: How much of your portfolio will you dedicate to this strategy?
Time Horizon: Is this a short-term or long-term trading approach?
Your answers will guide your parameter selections in the following steps.
Step 1: Access Omni Assist
Log into your SageMaster account
Navigate to the AI Assists section in the left sidebar
Click on "Create New Assist"
Select "Omni Assist" from the available options
Step 2: Basic Configuration
Select Trading Pair and Exchange
Choose your preferred exchange from the dropdown menu
Select the trading pair you want to trade (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT)
Verify that the current market price is displayed correctly
Set Initial Parameters
Initial Investment: Enter the amount you want to allocate to this strategy
Entry Type:
Market Entry: Routes immediately at current market price
Limit Entry: Sets a specific price at which to activate the strategy
Step 3: Configure Your Grid Settings
The grid component forms the foundation of your Omni Assist strategy:
Grid Width: Set the percentage range for your grid
Recommendation for beginners: 5-8%
Wider for ranging markets (8-10%)
Narrower for trending markets (4-6%)
Grid Levels: Determine how many grid lines to place within your width
More levels = more frequent but smaller trades
Fewer levels = less frequent but larger trades
Typical range: 4-10 levels (6 is often a good starting point)
Take Profit Settings:
For ranging markets: Consider disabling TP to allow grid recycling
For trending markets: Set 1-3% to lock in profits quickly
Smart TP options allow for partial profit taking at different levels
Step 4: DCA Configuration - The Heart of Omni Assist
This is where Omni Assist truly differentiates itself from standard grid strategies:
Number of DCA Levels: How many deeper buying opportunities do you want?
Conservative: 2-3 levels
Moderate: 3-4 levels
Aggressive: 5+ levels
Step Scale: This crucial parameter determines the spacing between DCA levels
1.0: Equal spacing between all DCA levels (like traditional DCA)
1.1-1.3: Slightly widening spaces (balanced approach)
1.4-1.6: Progressively wider spacing (aggressive approach)
For example, with an initial grid width of 5% and Step Scale of 1.2:
First DCA might trigger at 5% below entry
Second DCA would trigger at 6% (5% × 1.2) below the first DCA
Third DCA would trigger at 7.2% (6% × 1.2) below the second DCA
Volume Scale: Controls capital allocation at each DCA level
1.0: Equal capital at all DCA levels
1.1-1.3: Slightly increasing allocation (balanced)
1.4-1.8: Significantly larger allocations at deeper levels (aggressive)
For example, with a base order of $100 and Volume Scale of 1.5:
First DCA might use $150 ($100 × 1.5)
Second DCA would use $225 ($150 × 1.5)
Third DCA would use $337.50 ($225 × 1.5)
Step 5: Advanced Settings
These settings allow you to further customize your strategy based on your specific needs:
Trailing Settings: Determine how your strategy adapts to rising prices
Enable for upward trending markets
Set trailing distance (percentage from the peak at which to follow)
Maximum Capital Allocation: Set limits on how much of your funds can be deployed
Prevents overexposure in extended drawdowns
Typical range: 50-80% of your allocated capital
Sub-Grid Configuration: Fine-tune how sub-grids operate at each DCA level
Sub-grid width (percentage range around DCA entries)
Sub-grid density (number of levels within each sub-grid)
Step 6: Activate Your Strategy
When you're satisfied with your configuration:
Click "Create Omni Assist"
Confirm your settings in the verification prompt
Your strategy is now live and will begin routing based on your parameters!

Monitoring Your Strategy
Once your Omni Assist strategy is active:
Regular monitoring through the SageMaster dashboard
Key metrics to watch:
Sub-grid activity across different price levels
DCA trigger events and new sub-grid formations
Realized profits from completed grid transactions
Overall position status and effective break-even price
Important Considerations
Start Conservative: Begin with smaller allocations as you learn how Omni Assist responds to market conditions
Back-testing Limitation: While SageMaster offers back-testing for standard strategies, the complex nature of Omni Assist may not be fully represented in back-tests
Incremental Adjustments: Make small adjustments to your parameters based on performance rather than complete overhauls
Market Adaptation: Remember that different market conditions may require different parameter settings
