UProfit Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
No. UProfit states that all positions must be closed by 4:10 PM ET because swing trading between sessions is not permitted. Weekly close is Friday at 4:10 PM ET and the week reopens Sunday at 6:00 PM ET.
Below is a breakdown of how the UProfit weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
Breakdown by Account Type
UProfit Day accounts
Day accounts carry the hardest daily loss limit in the UProfit range, breaching the account rather than pausing it, and they sit under the same 4:10 PM ET close as everything else. A position running into the close on a Day account risks both rules at once.
UProfit Soft accounts
Soft accounts use a daily loss limit that does not breach the account, but the holding rule is unchanged. Positions close at 4:10 PM ET regardless of which variant you hold.
UProfit Flex accounts
Flex removes the daily loss limit entirely and gives you full intraday freedom, with only the end-of-day drawdown as a control. It does not extend that freedom past the session close: swing trading between sessions is still not permitted.
UProfit ONE 50K
ONE runs a static drawdown of $1,000 with the account loss limit fixed at $49,000. The same session boundary applies, so the static floor is measured against a book you have to flatten every afternoon.
What UProfit trades and when
UProfit lists CME equity indices and currencies, CME livestock, NYMEX energy and COMEX metals. The published weekly open is Sunday at 6:00 PM ET, daily close is Monday through Thursday at 4:10 PM ET with reopen at 6:00 PM ET, and weekly close is Friday at 4:10 PM ET.
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
UProfit publishes the full 2026 US market holiday list in its help centre, covering New Year, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and notes trading hours may vary on those dates. It states it will announce special holiday trading hours on X, Instagram, Facebook, Discord and by email a couple of days in advance, and points to the CME website for updates. Since UProfit does not describe an auto-flatten for the 4:10 PM ET close, treat the deadline as yours to enforce.
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.
