It is percent of the total bars the strategy uses for trading. The bars required for calculating the indicators initial values are not included.
For example, if you have 20 000 bars and you use MA (40), the backtest will use 20000 - 40 - 2 = 19958 bars. If you have stagnation for 550 bars, it will be 100 * 550 / 19958 = 2.76 % stagnation.

Ah I see, thanks
