Atmos Funded Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Atmos Funded allows weekend holding on all account types, including the challenges and the funded accounts. There are no restrictions on leaving trades open overnight or over the weekend, so positions can be carried from Friday’s close through to Monday’s open.
Standard rollover or swap charges may apply when you hold positions past the daily rollover, and these can be checked in MT5. Weekend gap risk applies when the market reopens, especially on forex pairs that gap on the Sunday open.
Below is a breakdown of how the Atmos Funded weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant | N/A | Allowed |
| 1 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant
The Instant account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is allowed on the funded account, with no restriction on holding overnight or over the weekend. Rollover or swap charges may apply.
1 Step
Weekend holding is allowed during the single evaluation phase and on the funded account. Positions can be carried over the weekend, with swap costs and weekend gap risk to plan for.
2 Step
Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account, including the Standard and Plus variants. There is no requirement to close before the weekend.
Swap and Triple Swap
Standard rollover or swap charges may apply when you hold positions past the daily rollover, and these can be checked in MT5. Atmos 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.
| Instrument | Triple Swap Day |
|---|---|
| FX pairs | Wednesday |
| Metals | Wednesday |
| Indices | Friday |
| Other instruments | Friday |
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
There is no weekend restriction to breach at Atmos Funded, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation on any account type. The risks are market based, mainly the weekend gap, where forex pairs can gap on the Sunday open, plus rollover or swap charges on positions held past the daily rollover. The equity based drawdown limits still apply, so a large weekend gap should not push the account past them.
Final Comments
Atmos Funded allows weekend holding across all account types, including the challenges and the funded accounts, with no restrictions on overnight or weekend positions. This gives swing traders full flexibility to carry positions from Friday to Monday.
The main costs and risks to plan for are rollover or swap charges, which can be checked in MT5, and the weekend gap when the market reopens. Forex pairs in particular can gap on the Sunday open, and the equity based drawdown limits still apply, so position size should reflect that. Weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility.
