### Disclaimer & General Information

<Info>
  Not all signals that work in the past will work in the future, but backtests can give you an idea of how your bot would have performed in the past.
</Info>

<Note>
  Backtesting depends on the features that your bot uses. Not all bots can be backtested as some signals from trend data providers such as Telegram, X/Twitter etc. are not available in historical data.

  We are working on a solution to backtest bots that use signals from external sources like Telegram or X/Twitter by fetching the historical feed/channel data on-demand.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Bots that use only OHLCV market data can be backtested without any issues.
