Weekend Trading Rules for Top One Trader Accounts - Instant Funding

More information on the weekend trading rules for Instant Funding Accounts

Written by Lars

At Top One Trader, we aim to promote responsible trading and proper risk management. As part of this, we have specific rules around weekend trading that you need to be aware of. These rules are designed to protect your capital and maintain stability in the market.

Weekend rule: all trades must be closed by Friday 4:30 PM EST unless you purchased the Weekend Holding add-on. Crypto trades opened after Friday 8 PM EST are allowed over the weekend.

No Holding Trades Over the Weekend

A key rule for Instant Funding 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.

If you have purchased the Weekend Holding add-on, you are allowed to hold your trades over the weekend and your trades will not be closed out on Friday at 4:30 PM EST.

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.

Crypto Trading Over the Weekend

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