How to use the Backtester
Cryptohopper's Backtester is a new feature that's currently available exclusively to Marketplace Sellers. With this tool, you can backtest all of your template and bot settings, except for triggers, built-in strategies (which are shown in the Strategy list in your Configuration), and TradingView Alerts.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, check the following:
- You have a Cryptohopper account.
- You have created a template or bot of the Trading bot.
- You have a Cryptohopper subscription.
