Weekend holding: allowed? (and what the Weekend Add-on changes)

Program Instant Funding One Phase Two Phase
Severity Critical

TL;DR

  • Challenges: weekend holding is allowed.
  • Funded + Instant Funding: weekend holding requires the Weekend Add-On. Without it, you must be flat before Friday close (and cancel pendings).

How it works

  • Weekend holding = carrying open risk through the market’s weekend close/reopen window (gap risk).
  • Weekend Trading add-on flips the permission switch for Funded + Instant Funding weekend holding.
  • Without it (Funded/Instant Funding): close + cancel before Friday close.

Common gotchas

  • Closing positions but leaving pending orders is how people get breached while “not trading.”
  • “Friday close” depends on the market/session, don’t wait for the last minute and check the times on your trading platform.
  • Weekend gaps can jump past stops. That’s the whole point of the rule.

Values table

Program Weekend holding allowed by default? What changes with Weekend Trading add-on
Challenges Yes You don’t need the add-on
Funded No Allowed with add-on
Instant Funding No Allowed with add-on

Example

You’re funded without the Weekend Trading add-on. It’s Friday and you still have an open trade + two pendings. Correct move: close the trade and cancel the pendings before the market shuts.
