Since Octobot is a paid-version, wanted to understand more features regarding the bot such as follows: a) Does Octobot support User's inputs as the 1st measure and thereafter followed by customising the strategy? b) If we create our own bot from the scratch, does it return its own API?
OctoBot can be used 99% for free. The paid version is an extension, you can see its features on: https://www.octobot.cloud/en/guides/octobot-configuration/premium-octobot-extension
a) Does Octobot support User's inputs as the 1st measure and thereafter followed by customising the strategy => you can customize your strategies using OctoBot, yes
b) If we create our own bot from the scratch, does it return its own API? => it has its own web interface for which some of the data uses an API but it's not the primary source of info
octobot_script is the only way to customise the strategy?
octobot_script is the only way to customise the strategy?
No you can also use the strategy designer to customize or even create your own strategy https://www.octobot.cloud/en/guides/octobot-usage/strategy-designer
so, i cant add a python script (strategy) into the evaluator folder by itself and try it out on my own hosted instance before putting onto the 'cloud'? correct? because i am having a hell of a time building an aroon oscillator and ichiV1 evaluators for octobot that worked really well in my old freqtrade setup... my config keeps getting overwritten.
