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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
