What result do you expect when you backtest your EAs?

I'd like to know, usually you guys backtest an ea, how much is your start capital, and how much the profit you expect in a month, 3 months, or a year?

@biztet Personally I' not lookig for any specific net profit. I prefer to see a stable growing balance graph and a good sharpe ratio, low DD and win/loss ratio above 1.1.

So you already find your prefered strategy then, @l-andorrà.
What's your affordable startup capital?
Enough for 3% to 5% daily profit?

Mine need about $200 to $300. To me there's no perfect EA.
Just withdraw the profit weekly, coz we are not the market maker.

@biztet That depends on your risk appetite. I'm happy with a yearly 30% so I don't need the strategy to be very aggressive.
