I think - it is the trades which were closed based on the strategy tested stopped: all open trades were closed in the end of the testing.
So, I do not think it is the error with data.

The last trades when closing backtest burn the account because this EA keeps losing trades open till those trades eat the entire account, that shows this EA is complete useless.

No drop along the way because the EA did not close the big losing trades along the way.

There is such as floating drawdown on open trades.
And you see when the trades are closed in profit or in loss when backtesting.
But when the backtesting is stopped so all open trades are closed too (sometimes - with loss).

You should use (or you should create) the EA with less drawdown on open trades (otherwise you will get margin call soon or later for example).
It is related to the EA sorry.

This is a freelance project yes?

If the EA is executing according to your specifications, this is no reason to not approve the demonstration.

In freelance, the developer's job is to correctly code the EA to do as you requested. If your strategy results in losses, that is the fault of your strategy and not the developer's coding.

EA Needed! Request Can anyone Recode Request to send commands
