Allocation methods
PMAM is specially designed to give experienced traders all the necessary software tools to allocate and distribute funds under master account in live trading conditions fast and easily.
There are 8 allocation methods supported by PMAM based on volume:
- Lot allocation. This is used to separate the volume from the master account to the sub accounts based on their predetermined parameters. This will be in proportion to the predetermined lot sizes for each sub account. Lot allocation also enables trading on the master account with unfixed lot sizes.
- Proportional allocation by balance. This is used to measure the size of the trade volume of the master account based on the sub accounts’ balance. This is an automatic procedure.
- Equity percent allocation. When the user requires to allocate to sub accounts based on percentage, this type of allocation is used. The purpose is for the risk of each account to be easily defined. The % parameter is used to define the percentage of equity that will be traded for each sub accounts.
- Percent allocation by p/l. This is used by a deposit/withdrawal transaction when the master position is closed and not by opening positions on the sub accounts. Similar to the following allocation method, this is used when the user requires allocation to the other accounts on a percentage basis based on the predetermined % parameter.
- Percent allocation. This method is used to separate the master trade’s volume to the sub accounts based on their predetermined % parameter. The allocation will occur as a percentage of the volume of the master trade.
- Proportional allocation by equity. Proportion in this method is calculated automatically like in the proportion balance allocation method. The only difference here is that equity is used rather than balance. No additional settings are required here.
- Allocation by equal risk. Addressing the issue of controlling margin on the sub accounts is introduced with this method. Low margin level is the reason why sometimes the sub accounts are stopped. This is the only method that takes into consideration the margin level. However, setting the minimal % level for every sub account is possible with this method.
- Proportional allocation by p/l. Like with the percent allocation by p/l method, no positions are open, but the deposit/withdrawal transaction is made to the sub accounts once the master trade is closed. This is used when the user requires allocation to the sub accounts in proportion to their balanced.
