Arch Public Algorithm Setup Guide (Start Here)
Set up a Supported Exchange Account
Arch Public Algorithms require an exchange account to function. We currently support Gemini, Kraken, Coinbase, and Robinhood (beta).
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.
Access Arch Public Algorithms in TradingView
Log in to your Arch Public account and go to Client Portal
On the left-hand side, click Webhooks
The Webhooks section is where you will find all critical inputs and outputs required to automate The Bitcoin Algorithm
In the User Information section you will need to input your TradingView Username and Opt into automated trades. (Make sure you click “Update” and “Save”).
Your TradingView Username IS NOT your email address. Entering your email address will not work.
Connecting To Your Exchange Account
In order to connect your Crypto Exchange Account to Arch Public's suite of algorithms, you will need to create an API key in your exchange account and copy/paste the information into the Webhooks section in your Arch Public Client Portal.
Connect To Kraken
IMPORTANT Kraken Staking Requirements:
Kraken Auto Earn may remain enabled. However, assets that are manually Flex Staked or Bonded Staked cannot be traded by Arch Public algorithms.
If a cryptocurrency is manually staked (Flex or Bonded), it must be unstaked before the algorithm can execute trades. Failing to do so may result in missed trades. You can stake a portion of a particular cryptocurrency and still trade with the unstaked portion.
Log in to your Kraken Account. In the top right-hand corner, click the Account icon and click Settings
Click "Connections & API", then "Create API Key"
Give your new API key a name. Make the selections as pictured in the screenshot. Then click "Generate Key"
You will now see your API Key and API Secret Key. Make sure you copy these somewhere safe. If you lose your API Secret Key, you will simply have to create a new API key to regain functionality. Keep this window open so you can easily copy and paste these keys into your Arch Public Client Portal.
Once you have copied your keys to a safe location, check the acknowledgement box above and Close. You will now find the API key you just created in your Kraken account.
Go back to your Arch Public Client Portal’s Webhook section. Copy and paste your API Key Name (also known as Account Alias), API Key, and Secret Key. Click “Add Account”.
Once completed, you will see your Kraken API key appear in “Your Brokerage Accounts” section. You have now successfully connected Kraken to Arch Public's Crypto Algorithms.

Connect To Robinhood
NOTE: To access available assets through Robinhood on TradingView, you must select BITSTAMP as the exchange. Robinhood recently acquired Bitstamp.
To connect to Robinhood, you will need to first generate a private/public key. Go to your Arch Public Client Portal > Webhooks. In the Add Account section, select Robinhood from the Broker dropdown. Enter a Brokerage Alias of your choice, choose between API v1 and API v2, and then click “Generate Private/Public Keys.”
v1 and v2 use different order routing and fee structures. For details on the differences between API v1 and v2, please refer to Robinhood’s documentation here: https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/crypto-api/
You will see both the Private Key and Public Key appear. Click the “Copy” button to copy the Public Key to your clipboard.
In a separate tab or window, log in to your Robinhood Account. In the top right-hand corner, click "Account" > "Crypto".
Under API Trading, Select "Add Key".
Give the key the same name as the “Brokerage Alias” you created in your Arch Public Client Portal.
You must select all five of the lower “Read” permissions (Read crypto accounts, Read crypto holdings, Read crypto orders, Read crypto products, and Read crypto quotes), plus at least one of the top “Place crypto orders” options.
You must select at least one of the following order actions (matching your Arch setup):
Place crypto orders with fee tiers = v2
Place crypto orders without fee tiers = v1
The option you select should match the API version chosen in your Arch Public Client Portal. You may select both if desired, but trades will be submitted according to the version established in Arch.
Copy/Paste the "Public Key" you generated in the Arch Public Client Portal to the "Public Key" Field in the Add Key form, the Click Save. You may be asked to confirm the activity with your phone.
When successful, you will see your API key appear under the "API Trading" Section.

Once added, click the "Test Connection" button under "Your Brokerage Accounts" section in the Arch Public Client portal to verify.
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.
Setup an instance of the Intelligence Algorithm.
