FTMO: Minimum trading days
ConditionalSoft / informationalVerifiedUpdated Jun 4, 2026
The 2-Step requires at least 4 trading days in each phase (a trading day = any day, 00:00–23:59 CE(S)T, with at least one position opened). The 1-Step has no minimum-days requirement — the Best Day rule governs instead.

This is informational rather than a hard breach trigger — it shapes how you should trade, but crossing it alone won't void the account.
