Do you have get some profit using these strategies?

  no, because the prof that teaches this course still didn't make any money using these strategies, otherwise he would be on his yacht in French Riviera

Is that the Georgia Tech/Tucker Balch course? I'm amazed that GT let him teach that course. It's full of errors, omissions and bad habits. I vaguely followed along, and the most noticeable thing was how much the students complained about the low quality of the course. The only result of someone implementing the advice in that course is that they'd lose a lot of money quite quickly.

That course isn't really well done. There are much better quant courses out there on Coursera.
