Funded Trading Plus: Weekend & overnight holding

ConditionalWarningVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic allow overnight and weekend holding. The Instant program does NOT — all trades must be closed by 4:30pm EST Friday, and the system auto-closes open positions.

The gotcha

Instant traders get a hard Friday-afternoon auto-close — don't plan to carry a position over the weekend on Instant.

What happens if you break it

WarningWarning

This is a soft breach: the firm typically warns or flags the account rather than voiding it, but repeated or flagrant breaches escalate to termination.
