IC Funded Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
IC Funded does not allow weekend holding. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week. Any position left open may be closed automatically.
Overnight holding during the week is allowed. The Friday flatten rule is designed to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity conditions, and it applies across the account types.
Below is a breakdown of how the IC Funded weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step
Overnight holding is allowed during the week, but weekend holding is not. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week, on both the evaluation and the funded account.
2 Step
The 2 Step Professional Program follows the same rule. Overnight holding is allowed, but a Friday flatten is required across both evaluation phases and the funded account, so positions cannot be carried into the weekend.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. IC Funded does not publish a fixed triple swap schedule, so the standard market convention applies, where the rollover for a full weekend is charged on a single day during the week.
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
Weekend holding is not permitted at IC Funded. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week. Any position that remains open may be closed automatically. The rule is designed to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity conditions, and traders are expected to comply at all times. Overnight holding during the week does not breach this rule.
Final Comments
IC Funded requires a Friday flatten, so weekend holding is not allowed on any account. All trades must be closed before the market closes for the week, and positions left open may be closed automatically. The rule exists to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity when the market reopens.
Overnight holding during the trading week is allowed, so intraday and multi-day traders can hold through the week, but positions must be flat by Friday’s close. Traders who need to carry positions across the weekend would need a firm that permits weekend holding.
