Why are rates shown in the iOS or Android app incorrect?

Incorrect rates in the Cryptohopper app are usually caused by ticker rate settings, an IP block, or a poor internet connection. Check your ticker setting, switch networks, or contact support.

Rates and profit/loss percentages in the iOS/Android app should match those on the Cryptohopper website. If you notice a difference, it is usually caused by one of the three issues below.

Ticker rate setting

Your bot uses a ticker rate to determine the current price of a coin. If the ticker is set to Use last tick if higher/lower or Always use last tick, the displayed price may not reflect what buyers and sellers are actually offering. This becomes especially noticeable on illiquid trading pairs where there are few orders in the orderbook. When you sell with a market order under those conditions, the fill price can be far from what the app showed — resulting in a sudden large loss.

To fix this:

  1. Go to Configuration > Base config > Exchange.

  2. Change the Ticker rate to Highest bid/Lowest ask.

  3. Click Save.

With this setting, Cryptohopper uses the best available price from the orderbook instead of the last traded price. For low-liquidity pairs, also consider switching from market orders to limit orders to avoid unexpected price slippage.

IP block

If your IP address is blocked by Cryptohopper, the app cannot fetch new price data and will display outdated rates. To check whether this is the issue:

  1. Switch between Wi-Fi and 4G/5G on your device.

  2. Close and reopen the app.

  3. Compare the rates in the app with those on the Cryptohopper website.

If rates are correct on one network but not the other, the IP address on that network is likely blocked. Contact support and include your IP addresses for both Wi-Fi and mobile data. You can look up your IP at whatismyipaddress.com.

Poor internet connection

A slow or unstable connection can prevent the app from loading up-to-date prices. You may also see a "Connecting" message on your dashboard. Switch to a different network and reopen the app to resolve this.
