What is AquaFunded's wave stop (funded accounts) rule?

On funded accounts (not instant), at −2% open loss the system auto-closes all positions (a soft breach you can resume from). But escalation bites: the 1st Wave Stop breach cuts your profit split to 50%, and the 2nd breaches the account. Watch out: Wave Stop (−2% closes trades) and the max-loss-per-trade rule (−2% permanently closes the account) sit at the same threshold on different account types — confusing and easy to trip.
