Instant Funding: Weekend & overnight holding

ConditionalWarningVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

Overnight holding is permitted (swap fees apply). Weekend holding is enabled by default for challenge phases and the Micro/Crypto plans, but on the flagship Instant Funding it requires the Weekend Holding add-on — otherwise close positions before Friday close.

The gotcha

Flagship Instant Funding needs a paid add-on to hold over the weekend; forgetting risks a breach.

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.
