Well, that depends on the system Evo. I only do
longterm systems, and i have no experience with short
term systems so i would hestitate to tell you exactly,
but ill give you basic ideas for long term systems

drawdown, 25-50% with a 50% being a crash like
drawdown (a la 2000)

annual return, 20-50%+ dont trade it unless it can
beat an index of provide a tiny drawdown

time from drawdown to new high, 3-12 months 

# of trades, minimum 500 for a decent backtest

win/loss %, 40-65% winners

avg winner , depends on timeframe

avgloser. depends on timeframe 10% avg loser for long
term is good

win size 3-4X loser for long term systems

loss size lose no more than 1-2% of equity in each
trade
