I've optimized a strategy based on one variable input against a list of instruments. I optimized against % Profitable. When I run a backtest against the same list of stocks, with the same time frame and replace the input with the stated "optimized" value from the optimize results, should I expect the same % Profitable that I saw in the optimized results?

Hello,
Yes you would expect this as long as the strategy didnt introduce anything in that would vary the tests from run to run. For example a random number generator or something.
Also, you want to make sure that the session template and days to load and all test parameters are the same.
I look forward to assisting you further.
