Bulenox Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
No. Bulenox states that holding positions overnight is strictly prohibited. The trading day runs 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM North American Central Time and all positions must be closed by 3:59 PM CT, so nothing carries into the next session or across the weekend.
Below is a breakdown of how the Bulenox weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
Breakdown by Account Type
Qualification Account
The Qualification Account is where the rule is published in full. The trading day starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 4:00 PM the following day, North American Central Time, with all positions closed by 3:59 PM CT. Bulenox flags it with a warning symbol: holding positions overnight is strictly prohibited. Weekends and public holidays are not counted as trading days.
Master Account
The Master Account follows the same session boundary. What changes at Master level is the drawdown behaviour, not the holding rule: the trailing drawdown stops moving once it reaches your starting balance plus $100 and is then permanently fixed.
Fast Track and Momentum accounts
Fast Track is a simulated live account bought without a qualification stage, and Momentum is a qualification that includes the Master stage at no extra cost. Both sit on the same trading hours, since Bulenox publishes the session rule at account-family level rather than per product.
Both risk models, same holding rule
Whether you pick Option 1 with the trailing drawdown or Option 2 with the end-of-day drawdown and daily loss limit, the overnight prohibition is identical. The risk model choice changes your drawdown and your contract scaling, not your ability to hold.
Session Close and Reopen Times
Futures accounts do not pay swaps, so what matters instead is knowing exactly when you have to be flat and when the market comes back. These are the times that govern that.
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
Bulenox does not describe an auto-flatten for the overnight rule, and it words the prohibition strictly, so treat 3:59 PM CT as a hard deadline you enforce yourself rather than one the platform enforces for you. Separately, if you breach the maximum drawdown the Qualification Account is suspended rather than lost outright: a reset costs $78, restores your starting balance instantly and lets you continue on the same account, though your previous profits, losses and trading days are cleared and the reset does not extend your 30 day access period.
Final Comments
Weekend gap risk is the reason this rule exists, and it is why almost every futures firm wants you flat before the close on Friday. Treat the auto-close as a backstop rather than a plan, because the firms that offer it are the same firms that tell you not to rely on it.
