You must be flat by 4:59 PM ET each day (before the CME maintenance break). Overnight holding WITHIN a session is allowed (a session runs ~6 PM ET to 4:59 PM ET next day), but no holding across the daily break or over the weekend. Open positions at close are auto-flattened (this does not fail the account).
The gotcha
You can hold overnight within a session but never over the weekend — leftover positions are auto-flattened with possible slippage.
This is informational rather than a hard breach trigger — it shapes how you should trade, but crossing it alone won't void the account.
