For evaluation, it points users to OctoBot’s backtesting engine and Strategy Designer as ways to test and refine customized strategies. The document provides no specific strategy rules, performance results, or empirical evidence, so it serves mainly as a practical overview of the platform workflow. It does not explain how to configure the tools or assess backtest reliability.
