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.

There are two ways to configure your Hopper initially:
- 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.
- 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.

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.
