Understanding the Growth plot of a Signal

Hi

Please consider the attached signal growth plot.

Why some numbers at the bottom of the plot are grayed out and the YTD is grayed out for 2018?

What does the vertical gray line in the plot mean? which devides the plot from faded blue to brighter blue.

Thanks

MQL5 usually greys out the abnormal or risky growth, this is usually larger than 150% profit per month.

Also the light blue line in the growth chart represents the period the signal was not connected to MQL5 signal database, so the maximum drawdown info about this signal only reflects the dark blue period of the chart, when the signal was published at MQL5 onwards.

Everything prior the 150% is greyed out, I don't understand the logic behind it, but there it is.
