Question #4: answer 'Bulls make money, bears make money and pigs get slaughtered.'
Pig
A pig is any investor who puts greed ahead of his or her investment principles or sound strategies. Anyone who watches investment guru Jim Cramer knows one of his most famous expressions: 'Bulls make money, bears make money and pigs get slaughtered.' A pig tends to think that a 100% return over a 12-month period is not good enough. As a result, the pig may then go and borrow money on margin or mortgage his or her home to buy more of a stock at a higher price with the hope of making more money on the investment. The pig can get slaughtered if the stock drops and all the original gains are lost.

Using no SL & waiting for the reverse of the market! Correct or anything else?

That is one option.
Another is adding more trades of the same direction so more long trades. That is what is called averaging as you get better price closes to market.
Adding more trades with higher amount is martingale.
And another option is to take opposite direction trade which is called hedging and closing each position once market reach its price.
Last option another trade, opposite direction, higher amount.
So there is always a solution, even accepting the loss is an solution. You should decide based on your trading plan

I would expect very similar results. Sure there will be slippage and maybe higher spread costs on a real account but basically you should get a good positive return
What is the important criteria for a backtest to trust it?

Not at all; the real trading result will be different for sure! Because of emotion’s issue!
