What is FTMO's best day rule (1-step consistency) rule?

On the 1-Step program only, your single best day must not represent more than 50% of your total positive-days profit. The 2-Step program has NO consistency rule. Watch out: One outsized day on the 1-Step can disqualify you even after you hit the 10% target — spread your profit across days. Want to swing for big days? Take the 2-Step, which has no consistency rule.
