FTMO Replaces the 1-Step Best Day Rule on 12 October

October 10 2026 prop firm check covering the FTMO 1-Step consistency rule and the 20 percent 100K offerProp Firm News

This is a 10 October 2026 promo and rule check for FindBestProp. It follows the 9 October Topstep Labs note. The page that moves the catalog is the FTMO trading update of 8 October. Schema dateModified on that article is 8 October 2026. The homepage schema is now 9 October 2026, and the Trading Objectives page carries the same stamp.

New 1-Step orders leave Best Day on Monday

FTMO did not publish a coupon. The 20% line is still a checkout price on one CFD account: 1-Step Standard $100K. The stored list fee stays €499. The public promo page still prints €399 beside €499. There is still no coupon box. 1-Step $10K stays €79, 1-Step $25K stays €199, 1-Step $50K stays €319, and 1-Step $200K stays €999. 2-Step Standard $100K stays €439. The 20% line does not apply to those rows, and it does not apply to FTMO Futures.

The rule change is separate from the price.

From Monday, 12 October 2026, 09:00 MetaTrader platform time (GMT+3), the Consistency rule replaces the Best Day Rule for:

  • every new 1-Step order created at or after that time, on every size
  • every 1-Step FTMO Account merged at or after that time

Orders created before 12 October 2026, 09:00 stay on the Best Day Rule. Passing the challenge, taking a reward, or receiving a later account from that older order does not move them onto Consistency.

Where it is written todayTrading Objectives, still liveFTMO says the full text lands on that page when the change starts
Published capBest day at most 50% of Positive Days’ ProfitPercentage not published on this check

The live Best Day text is still the one on Trading Objectives. Positive Days’ Profit sums closed P&L from days that finished positive. A losing day does not enter that sum. FTMO’s own example: a $10,000 day against $16,000 of positive-day profit is 62.5%, so the rule is not met until positive-day profit reaches $20,000 if that day stays the best day.

Consistency uses a wider base. Losing days reduce total profit, so the same best day is a larger share of the total. FTMO says the new rule is stricter, and that the point is to line 1-Step up with the rest of the book. The percentage itself is not on the trading update and not on Trading Objectives yet. Do not invent one. Read the objectives page again after 09:00 on Monday before you size a new 1-Step.

2-Step Standard $100K is outside this switch. Its objectives page still prints a 10% / 5% target, a 5% daily loss, a static 10% max loss, and 4 minimum trading days. It does not print a Best Day Rule.

Saturday maintenance is on the same note

The same update schedules platform maintenance for today, 10 October 2026, 10:00–12:00 MetaTrader time, on MT4, MT5, TradingView, and cTrader. Trading on those platforms is disabled in that window.

A second window, 10:00–11:30, covers Client Area systems: Account MetriX, KYC, payouts, billing, and new purchases. The public website stays up. Chat and email stay up, with limited help on account-specific questions. If a cart or a purchase button fails inside that window, wait until it ends and read the total again.

HK50.cash is closed the whole day on Monday, 19 October 2026, for the Chung Yeung Festival. That is a symbol holiday, not a challenge-rule change.

Rechecks that did not move the catalog

These official pages were opened on 10 October. None of them replaced a stored code or a stored fee.

  • Earn2Trade. Not in the comparator. The homepage fetch did not print the TCP25 anniversary bundle. No code was added.

How to use today’s check

Pick the account before you pay (comparison guide). Catalog codes live on All Discount Codes. Review pages keep only the two most recent notes for that firm. The FTMO note is the one that lands on a review.

  1. If you already hold a 1-Step from an order placed before 12 October 2026, 09:00 MetaTrader time, keep using Best Day: best day at most 50% of Positive Days’ Profit. Open 1-Step Standard $100K only if you are buying a new one.
  2. If you buy a new 1-Step on Monday or later, wait for the Consistency percentage on Trading Objectives before you treat a single day as safe. The rule still does not breach the account.
  3. The 20% line is only the $100K 1-Step: list €499, promo page €399, no code to paste. 2-Step $100K is a different product.
  4. On FundedNext, keep STOCT on the four starter plans. Open Stellar 2-Step 6K or Futures Flex 50K and use the code for that account.
  5. If the cart is down during today’s 10:00–12:00 maintenance, pay after the window and match the live total.
