This tutorial shows you how to change the strategy your Hopper is using. By the end of this guide, your Hopper will use a strategy to scan the markets for buying opportunities.

Prerequisites#

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• You’ve got a Cryptohopper account
• You’ve got a working Hopper that’s funded. Otherwise follow this tutorial first.

Installing a new strategy#

1. Go to the marketplace. Click the marketplace dropdown in the menu bar on the left, and click “Strategies”.
2. Filter if you want to use paid or free strategies. Cryptohopper offers a lot of free strategies made by us. They are of high quality and jumpstart your trading.
3. Click the “Download” button. You can find this under the profile image.
4. Install the strategy. Go to “Config” and click “Baseconfig”. Click “Strategy” and select the strategy you want to trade with in the strategy dropdown at the top.
5. Click the “Save” button.

What’s next?#

Did you know you can get a refund within 30 minutes? Backtest your strategy and get a refund if you're not satisfied. The refund is issued automatically when you request it.

1. Go to “Backtest” in the menu bar on the left.
2. Click “Load existing config”. This only works if you’ve selected the strategy in your config. Otherwise, select the strategy directly in the backtesting.
3. Select a coin that you want to test the strategy on.
4. Click “Start Backtest”. It will take a while, but it’ll test the strategy and show you with green stripes where your Hopper would’ve bought.
5. Not satisfied? Go back to the profile of the strategy you’ve bought. A refund button will be shown. The refund will be deposited into your credits.
