Arch Public Algorithm Setup Guide (Start Here)
Set up a Supported Exchange Account
Arch Public Algorithms require a Kraken or Gemini exchange account to function.
NOTE: Kraken integration is currently in beta development. Due to regulations, Kraken is preferred for Canadian and international clients.
Set up a Kraken exchange account or Gemini exchange account
Once established, you will need to fund your account
Set up a TradingView Account
Set up a TradingView account. You will need an Essential Plan at minimum.
Set up TradingView 2 Factor Authentication
Once you have created your account, click the account icon and find Profile Settings
Click "Set 2-factor authentication". If you have not already subscribed to a paid plan, TradingView will prompt you to do so.
Select your preferred 2 Factor Authentication option using an authentication app or your phone number. In this example, we are using an authentication app.
2 Factor Authentication setup is complete when you see a "Disable" button next to your chosen 2FA method. If you do not see a "Disable" button, click "Enable" again to complete the process.

Adding Arch Public Algorithms To TradingView
On the TradingView homepage, click the upper left-hand menu and select Supercharts
Select the correct trading pair in the chart by clicking the symbol selector. For a current list of trading pairs, please reference the Crypto FAQ . The exchange must be the same as your exchange (Kraken or Gemini) otherwise the algorithms will not display.
IMPORTANT NOTE - If your exchange account is funded with a currency other than USD (For example, GBP, USDT, etc.), your chart MUST be set to the correct pair (e.g. BTCGBP, BTCUSDT).
Select Indicators > Invite Only.
This is where you will add the main Bitcoin Algorithms to your chart. Click the algorithm(s) you would like to add to your chart. You will see them appear on your chart.
Please allow for up to 24 hours after adding your TradingView username to the Arch Public Client Portal. You will need to refresh TradingView in your browser to see recently added algorithms in the “Invite-only” section.
You will see the algorithms you’ve selected appear on the chart.
Display only one algorithm at a time when performing analysis and setting changes. To do so, click the eyeball icon next to the algorithm’s name on the chart. Notice that the visible algorithm has a clear eyeball while the invisible algorithm has a cross through the eyeball.
The main functions you will use are the algorithm settings menu (gear icon), Strategy Tester, and timeframes.
Timeframes change the period on which the algorithms function, therefore significantly effecting the performance of any given set of algorithm parameters. When setting up an instance, ensure that you are on the timeframe you desire for that instance.
Setup Complete! What Next?
Start with an instance of the Arbitrage Algorithm or Intelligence Algorithm. The Arbitrage Algorithm is deigned to take advantage of the volatility of cryptocurrency. It can be tuned to generate a cash yield, accumulate cryptocurrency, sell off an existing position, or a blend of all three.
Setup an instance of the Arbitrage Algorithm. The Intelligence Algorithm is designed to accumulate cryptocurrency at the most opportune prices and excels at building a strong foundation in any cryptocurrency.
