when do you think EA can be used in live trade?

 
vx0532:
maybe it can get good result on many pairs or many time frames in one pair? or other some situation?
Many pairs and many timeframes . . . but why does the timeframe matter ? candles hide much, much more information than they give, why would you want to use them ?

I mean which standard or some principle the result of Strategy Tester meets, you will think the EA is Ok.

Such as, have a good gains or small drawdown and so on.,

I look for consistency, I look at it's WR vs R:R . . . without any Optimization.
