How do you know you have a good EA?

What measurements are used in the report of the backtester to determine if you have a good EA? I've been looking at Profit Factor and so far my EA can produce these numbers. Data from August 13 - Sept 6, lot sizes of 0.1 in order to mimic a mini account, balance starting at $5000.

EURUSD 7.82 (Gross Profit $3182, Gross Loss $-406.70)
USDJPY 2.18
GBPUSD 2.75
USDCHF 5.59
AUDUSD 2.78
USDCAD 2.32
EURJPY 4.53
EURGBP 0.29 (script got slammed early on due to the 90 pip change)
EURCHF 3.88

depend on what you need the EA to do so

-only make money as much as it can , don't mind if it force you a big loss sometime like scalper dose

-make a good pips always , even get less money, but very less loss..like long term trader dose


high risk <-> high return

low risk <-> low return
