There are many ways to create a new trading bot on Cryptohopper:

Config wizard

Click here when you are logged into Cryptohopper, or click on the dropdown next to "My bots" and then on "View all".

The interface displays 'My bots (62)' in the left sidebar with a dropdown arrow, and a 'View all' option below it.
