Getting started

Three minutes, five steps, no card. The goal of setup is a feed that only shows you what you'd want to know first.

  1. 01

    Create an account

    Sign up with an email address, pick Pulse or Terminal, and start the 7-day free trial (card required, nothing charged until the trial ends — cancel any time before). A short onboarding asks what you follow so the feed opens already tuned instead of raw.

  2. 02

    Read the feed

    The feed is the product: every scored signal, newest first. On Pulse each is a plain-language read with a strength label; on Terminal each carries horizon performance — what comparable past signals actually did over 7/20/60/90 trading days.

  3. 03

    Build your watchlist

    Add the tickers you actually follow (up to 25 on Pulse). Watchlisted tickers float to the top of the feed, and they're what alerts key on — Arcthane never notifies you about a ticker you didn't ask about.

  4. 04

    Turn on alerts

    Email and push alerts fire when a meaningful signal lands on a watchlisted ticker — scored, the moment it's read, not when the news cycle finds it. The weekly digest sweeps up everything below the alert threshold.

  5. 05

    Log your positions (optional)

    Portfolio tracking is manual and stays that way — we never connect to a broker. Log a position and Arcthane scores it continuously, alerting you when the historical edge behind your entry has faded.
