Funding Traders: Weekend & overnight holding
Pro accounts: overnight and weekend holding allowed. Instant Funded: overnight allowed, but weekend holding is forbidden — all open trades across every instrument, including crypto, must be closed at least one hour before Friday market close.
The gotcha
Instant's Friday flat-by rule includes crypto, which trades 24/7 elsewhere.
What happens if you break it
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.
