The Weekend Holding rule defines whether traders are allowed to keep positions open over the weekend when markets are closed.

For the Amped program, weekend holding is fully permitted across all challenge phases, but not allowed on the funded phase.

One key rule for all Top One Trader accounts is that you are not allowed to hold trades over the weekend. This means that all trades must be closed by Friday 4:30 PM EST. Any open trades that are still active at this time will be automatically closed out.

This policy minimizes the risk of gaps or unpredictable market movements that often occur over the weekend when markets are closed. By ensuring all trades are closed, we help you avoid unexpected losses when markets reopen on Monday.

While traditional markets are closed over the weekend, cryptocurrency trading is an exception. You are allowed to trade cryptocurrencies during the weekend as long as these trades are opened after Friday 8 PM EST.

This gives traders the flexibility to take advantage of the 24/7 cryptocurrency market without breaching the weekend trading rule for other instruments.

By adhering to these weekend trading rules, you ensure that your account remains compliant and protected against market volatility that could occur during non-trading hours.
