Hi everyone, what does "position stop out triggered" mean in the EA trading log?

 

Hello everyone, I am a beginner in EA trading. Today while backtesting a strategy I encountered a problem that I can't understand. the EA program aborts at the point in time on the picture.

But at that time there was still about 15000 in the account. The logs are as shown in the picture, can you tell me why this is happening. Is there any way to keep the EA trading until the money is 0?

By understanding what margin is. And by learning the basics of position geometry as well as the relationship to your account balance and equity.
