S&P 500 Index Futures - Result (If Go Live Since 2009)

                           
Since only one person actually did the live test and post the answer after about a week, I might as well give you all the simple answer.

Anonymous is correct, if we use the same strategy and trade live since the beginning of this year (2009), we would have a profit of USD 3,877.50 (trading only 1 contract each time).  Out of 25 trades made, 16 or 64% is profitable with an average trade or expectancy of USD 155.10 and a profit factor of 1.53.  Not fantastic but not too bad either.
