When using Cryptohopper, it is a good idea to disable auto-fill in your browser. Your browser may record your API keys and try to paste them into form fields automatically. If you create a new API key on the exchange and your browser auto-fills the old key, your trading bot will get stuck. Disabling auto-fill prevents this.
