    has anyone ever backtested a method and then traded it profitably?

    I am currently running 5 different strategies on four ETFs. All were thoroughly back tested and all were profitable (averaged about 25% annually). I expect the live trading to be approximately the same, provided I can my mischievous hands off the machine.
