If you notice a difference between profits shown in your Cryptohopper bot and your exchange, this is likely due to the "Ignore different amounts" setting being enabled.

When this setting is active, your bot continues with the arbitrage trades even when calculated amounts don't match perfectly after formatting. This can lead to selling or buying different quantities of currency in subsequent arbitrage steps, resulting in inaccurate profit calculations.

To resolve this issue, you can disable the "Ignore different amounts" setting. You'll find this option in your Baseconfig under the "Coins and amounts" section.
