A bot is called a "Hopper." Each bot comes with a free simulator. When you log in for the first time, we will assist you with setting up your first Hopper.

Step 1: General Information

Enter your full name and your country of residence.

Step 2: Connect an exchange

To start automated trading with Cryptohopper, you must have an exchange account. Sign up at your preferred exchange or select the exchange you currently use to trade. Your funds will always remain on the exchange.

Tip: If you don't have an exchange account yet or wish to explore the Cryptohopper platform without connecting an exchange, you can select 'Simulated funds' in the next step.

To set up a connection between Cryptohopper and your exchange we will ask you to enter your API keys. You can find detailed instructions per exchange here.

If you wish to explore the Cryptohopper platform without connecting to an exchange, you can select 'simulated funds'. In that case, we will create a simulated Hopper with a trading balance for you.

Step 3 - Select a quote currency

Your quote currency is used to buy coins. Sold positions will be automatically converted into your selected quote currency. You can choose from a range of quote currencies. If you're new to trading, we recommend using a stable coin such as USDT or EUR.

Tip: if you wish to use another quote curreny than shown in the drop down, you can switch later after the initial setup of your Hopper.

There are two ways to configure your Hopper initially:

1. Follow signals: your Hopper will automatically execute buy- and sell signals from an experienced third-party analyst. We advise this option to everyone wishing for an easy, plug&play setup or just getting started with automated trading.
2. Build your bot: implement your own technical analysis and automate your existing strategy. This option is tailored to experienced traders, requiring some initial configuration and performance monitoring.

Signal Bot

To give you a jumpstart into automated trading, we preselected a range of signal providers free of charge. Select one to proceed. Click 'Learn more' to get more information about each signal provider's historical performance.

Your Hopper can run with multiple signal providers, so after building your first bot, you should definitely browse Cryptohopper's marketplace Link to find and test a wide selection of signal providers.
