How to understand -1) the maximum drawdown is 80%, while the signal provider doesn’t have any losing trades?

The Maximum Drawdown value is calculated based on Equity, not on the balance! So, as @Eleni Anna Branou has stated, that includes the open positions.
Deposit Load is something else entirely which considers the margin requirements of the orders and not so much the actual loss of an order (Load = Margin / Equity * 100%).
