PipFarm does not operate a warning system for weekend holding. Since weekend holding is fully permitted across all account types and phases, there are no violations, warnings, or penalties related to holding positions over the weekend. The main risk is market-based: price gaps can occur when markets reopen and a separate Gap Trading Policy applies to manage these situations.
