What is the Initial and Total Allocation?

The initial allocation is the Model Account Equity at moment you turn on subscription (multiplied by AutoTrade Scaling).

For example, let's imagine you start AutoTrading a strategy on July 10. You choose 200% scaling. On July 10, the Model Account for that strategy showed equity of $150,000. (i.e. The point on the equity chart at July 10). Your "Starting Allocation" would be $300,000.

Now, let's say the strategy performed well. On August 30, the Model Account chart showed $175,000. Now your "Total" allocation would be $175,000 x 200% = $350,000.

So, in essence, allocation answers the question: "How much nominal capital have I allocated to this strategy?"
