The last test is then to see if the results fair up for the period 2012. Come Dec 12 and I have another further 12 months results I will re-test all the successful systems to date.

That sounds pretty good to me, taking subsets as you are, you are highlighting any outliers that don't pop up each year.
If each individual year, you are in profit, then it's likely the system has legs. |
