Can I determine how often I want to rebalance my Portfolio Bot?

Yes, you can determine how often you want to rebalance your crypto assets across all positions. By default, the Portfolio Bots shown in this article rebalance every month. However, in the Basic settings, you can determine how often you want to rebalance. Choose from the following periods: minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, and enter a number in front of this configuration. Check out our articles about rebalancing tips and the different rebalancing options that are available.

Can I change the cryptocurrencies selected in my Portfolio Bot?

Yes, you can! Go to the Config of your Portfolio and adjust the cryptocurrencies you want to trade. One size doesn't always fit all, so we give you the option to alter the automated trading settings of your Portfolio Bot.

What happens when the Marketplace Seller updates their Portfolio Bot?

When you download a Portfolio Bot from the Cryptohopper Marketplace, you can choose whether to automatically update the Portfolio Bot settings when the Marketplace Seller updates their crypto portfolio or to update it manually if you prefer using your own trading settings.

How to interpret Backtest results for Portfolio Bots on the Cryptohopper Marketplace?

The Cryptohopper Marketplace offers a wide variety of Portfolio Bots for your use, but how can you determine if a specific Portfolio Bot is the right fit for you? While reading the Portfolio Bot description, checking the selected cryptocurrencies, and reviewing user feedback are important steps, analyzing the Backtest results can provide valuable insights into the bot's performance.

Understanding Backtest charts

To get a clear view of a Portfolio Bot's performance:

  1. Locate the chart for your chosen Portfolio Bot

  2. Click on "View trades in chart" to see when trades were executed.

This visual representation helps you understand the Portfolio Bot's trading patterns and frequency.

Key Backtest metrics

The Marketplace provides additional crucial data to evaluate Portfolio Bot performance:

  • Total buys and sells

  • Crypto exchange used for Backtesting

  • Start and End time of the Backtest (always a one-year period in the Marketplace)

  • Highest possible profit

  • Maximum possible drawdown

  • Current profit

  • Comprehensive overview of all trades

By examining these metrics, you can gain a deeper understanding of the Portfolio Bot's strategy, risk profile, and potential returns.

Interpreting Backtest results

When analyzing Backtest results, consider the following:

  1. Consistency: Look for Portfolio Bots that show consistent performance over time.

  2. Risk vs. Reward: Compare the highest possible profit against the maximum possible drawdown to assess the risk-reward ratio.

  3. Trading Frequency: Evaluate if the number of trades aligns with your preferred trading style (frequent or less frequent). This is always configurable once you downloaded the Portfolio Bot.

  4. Market Conditions: Consider how the bot performed during different market conditions within the test period.

Remember, while Backtest results are informative, they don't guarantee future performance. Use these insights in conjunction with other factors to make an informed decision when selecting a Portfolio Bot on the Cryptohopper Marketplace. Discover here which types of Portfolio Bots are available!
