InitialAccount is the first setting of the ea ? correct ?
if the ea ever makes a loss and your balance is then under this initial account balance you decided then ea stops trading. It's a protection. that's all. No link with portion.
Portion is used to determine the amount of your global balance that ea will calculate on the ep limit.

Starting capital 2000. Drawdown happened when account was around 2500. Total drawdown around $840 made my human mistake. I've accidently placed an extra chart with different EA as I set the template with another EA earlier. By the time I realized, there is 4 trades initiated by the another EA and heading to huge stop loss. Therefore, account was down to around $1700 and restarted. You can find those drawdown in the statement, those were GBPUSD, has nothing to do with the current EA I'm testing with GBPJPY. The drawdown from this single EA has only been playing with its own profit so far, never really touches the capital though. I've been playing with Martingale/Cost averaging system for half of my trading life, by far this is the longest lasting martingale/cost averaging test I can provide. I dont know about others, is there anybody showing a full year statement?

Your results are interesting because you survived for such a long time and that this is one of the longest forward tests I have seen.
As I see you started actually with 2 pairs (AUDNZD & GBPJPY) but gave up on AUDNZD after some days.
Do you mind to post your set-file?
Because of this long forward test period I'm very much interested to backtest it with exactly the same settings for comparison reasons.
By that we can get an idea of the differences between forward- and back-tests.
When we know the correlation of these tests we would be able to improve the forward-performance.
