Can't understand Max Drawdown values
Maximum drawdown is the maximum negative history in equity minus balance.
Do you see that value on the graph? There should be the specified difference (43694), but I don't see that.

If you say that, maybe a little bit more homework should be done.

Can you explain me? I see only one possible cause: the graph doesn't show the real extremums.

You can't see it on the chart as equity curve (green) is drawn only when an order is closed. Between 2 orders you can have big drawndown (mainly with a martingale system) and you can't see it on the chart.

OK, then my guess is correct.
Thank you very much.

Here are my EA tests (MT4) (see attached image).
The results show that there were the following drawdowns:
Absolute drawdown: 34154.58
Maximal drawdown: 43694.00
But I can't see these values on the graph. The maximal drawdown is about 17000 on the graph.
What's wrong? Is there a bug?
