By default, overnight and weekend holding are prohibited on 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant accounts, across both Challenge and Funded. Flex allows both.
Overnight holding
- Every trade must be opened and closed within the same UTC day (00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC).
- No position may stay open past the daily reset at 00:00 UTC.
- A trade opened on Monday and closed on Tuesday is an overnight holding violation.
- Overnight holding cannot be unlocked with an add-on.
Weekend holding
- No position may be open during the weekend closure, from Friday 23:00 UTC to Sunday 23:00 UTC.
- This applies to all tradable instruments, including 24/7 assets like crypto, which must follow the same weekend schedule.
Weekend Holding Add-on
- Weekend holding is permitted only if the trader purchases the Weekend Holding Add-on at checkout, for an additional fee.
- With the add-on, a position kept open from Friday through the weekend to the next market open is not treated as an overnight holding violation.
Flex accounts
- Overnight and weekend holding are allowed on both the Flex evaluation and the Flex funded account, with no add-on.
Key points
- Prohibited by default on 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant, on all stages.
- With the add-on, all other risk rules continue to apply in full. The trader accepts full responsibility for gap risk, slippage, swap charges and equity or margin swings at market open.
- Overnight holding leads to withdrawal rejection. Weekend holding without the add-on may result in trade removal or profit adjustment. Repeated or severe cases lead to account termination.
