# Prerequisites and Dependencies

To effectively utilise Arbique, please ensure you meet the following prerequisites and dependencies. These are essential for the seamless operation and optimal performance of the platform.

#### System Requirements

### **Device Requirements:**

* **Computer or Mobile Device:** A PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone capable of running a modern web browser.
* **Operating System:** Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

**Internet Connection:**

* **Stable and Reliable Connection:** Ensure you have a stable and high-speed internet connection to facilitate real-time data processing and trading/investment activities.

**Web Browser:**

* **Supported Browsers:** Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge (latest versions recommended).
* **Browser Settings:** Enable JavaScript and cookies for the Arbique website to function correctly.

### Account Requirements

**Arbique Account:**

* **Sign Up:** Create an account on the Arbique platform by providing a valid email address and setting a secure password.
* **Email Verification:** Verify your email address by clicking the link sent to your inbox.
* **Active Subscription Plan (if applicable):**
  * **Choose a Plan:** Subscribe to one of the Arbique plans that best suits your trading and investment needs (if Arbique uses a subscription model).
  * **Payment:** Complete the payment using supported cryptocurrencies (e.g., USDTBSC, USDTTRC, USDCMATIC) or other accepted methods.

### Exchange Requirements

**Supported Exchanges:**

* **Accounts:** Create and maintain active accounts on the supported exchanges (list your supported exchanges here, e.g., Binance, OKX, Kucoin, etc.).
* **Verification:** Ensure your accounts on these exchanges are verified and ready for trading.

**API Keys:**

* **Generate API Keys:** Obtain API and secret keys from each exchange you plan to use with Arbique.
* **API Permissions:** Ensure the API keys have the necessary permissions for **trading** operations. **Do not enable withdrawal permissions unless explicitly required and you understand the risks.** Store them securely and do not share them with unauthorised parties.
* **IP Whitelisting (Recommended):** If your exchange allows it, whitelist Arbique's IP addresses to enhance the security of your API keys. Provide the necessary IP addresses in your documentation.

### Fuel Wallet:

To ensure the continuous operation of Arbique's automated trading strategies, it is essential to have a sufficient balance of USDT in your Fuel Wallet. This Fuel Wallet acts as a payment mechanism for the platform fees, which are deducted as a percentage of the profits generated by your trades. Without an adequate balance in your Fuel Wallet, Arbique may temporarily pause or interrupt your automated trading activities.

### Subscription/Fee Requirements

**Funds for Subscription (if applicable):**

* **Supported Cryptocurrencies:** Ensure you have sufficient funds in supported cryptocurrencies (e.g., USDT, USDC) to purchase a subscription plan on Arbique (if applicable).

**Platform Fee Considerations:**

* **Fee Structure:** Understand how Arbique charges fees (e.g., percentage of profitable trades for arbitrage, subscription fees). Ensure you have sufficient balance in your exchange accounts to cover these potential fees.
* **Internal Fee Wallet (if applicable):** If Arbique uses an internal wallet to deduct a percentage of profits, ensure you maintain a sufficient balance in the supported currency (e.g., USDT, USDC) within this wallet.

### Trading Capital

**Sufficient Capital:**

* **Trading Funds:** Ensure you have adequate trading capital in your exchange accounts in the currencies required for the arbitrage pairs you intend to trade (e.g., USDT, BTC, ETH). For DCA, ensure you have the necessary quote currency for your regular purchases.
* **Diversification:** Consider diversifying your funds across multiple exchanges and supported currencies to optimise trading and investment opportunities.

#### Security Considerations

**API Key Security:**

* **Storage:** Store your API keys securely. Do not share them with unauthorised parties.
* **Permissions:** Limit API key permissions to only those required for trading. Avoid enabling withdrawal permissions unless absolutely necessary and you understand the risks involved.
* **IP Addresses Whitelisting (Recommended):** Whitelist Arbique's IP addresses on your exchanges to restrict access.

**Account Security:**

* **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):** Enable 2FA on both your Arbique account and exchange accounts for enhanced security.
* **Strong Passwords:** Use strong, unique passwords for all your accounts. Consider using a password manager.

#### Software Dependencies

**Web Application:**

* **No Local Installation Required:** Arbique is a web-based application, accessible directly through your web browser without any local software installation.

**Browser Extensions:**

* **Optional Extensions:** Consider using browser extensions for enhanced security and privacy (e.g., ad blockers, script blockers), but ensure they do not interfere with Arbique's functionality.

By meeting these prerequisites and dependencies, you can ensure a smooth and efficient experience with Arbique, maximising its potential for your cryptocurrency trading and investment strategies. Proper preparation is key to achieving optimal results.
