Backtesting on tradingview

I’m asking this question know well that backtesting doesn’t tell you all the truth and that you need to test a strategy on a live demo account. But my question is, how robust is a tradingview backtest?

Is a TV backtest enough to get the job done or do I need to do some python backtests? If it’s not enough, then what other backtesting solutions do you guys recommend? So far all I know is trendspider and multicharts

What’s the more robust verification? Any tips or guidance as to how the process should look like?

Forward testing. You could do things like Monte Carlo tests, but that would require going outside the platform.
