Drawdown
Drawdown, on a MetaTrader 5 report, is the drop in equity from a local maximum, shown as a percentage.
Explanation
The trading-report help says that in the growth view the graph shows the current drawdown, defined as the drop in equity from the local maximum, as a percentage. Another view shows drawdown relative to the balance at the time of the report. The report also shows deposit load, which is margin divided by equity, and the help text says a larger position means both a larger possible profit and a larger possible loss. Drawdown on a report describes the past path of that account. It is not a limit the platform will enforce, and it is not a forecast.
