Audacity Capital Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Audacity Capital allows holding positions overnight and over the weekend across its accounts, including the Ability Challenge, Ability One, and the FTP instant funding account. Weekend holding is permitted on both the challenge phases and the funded stage.
The daily loss limit and maximum drawdown still apply while a position is open, so a weekend gap can breach them at Monday’s open. Traders should also avoid opening or adding to positions within 3 minutes before or after a high impact news release.
Below is a breakdown of how the Audacity Capital weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant (FTP) | N/A | Allowed |
| 1 Step (Ability Challenge) | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant (FTP)
The FTP instant funding account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is allowed on the funded account, with the daily loss limit and maximum drawdown still active across an open position.
1 Step (Ability Challenge)
Weekend holding is allowed in the challenge phases and on the funded account for the Ability Challenge and Ability One programs. Positions can be carried over the weekend, but the daily loss limit and maximum drawdown apply, so a weekend gap can breach them when the market reopens.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. Audacity Capital 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 specific rule to breach at Audacity Capital, so weekend holding itself does not trigger a violation. The risk is indirect. The daily loss limit and maximum drawdown stay active while a position is open, and a weekend gap at Monday’s open can push the account past one of those limits. Opening or adding to positions within 3 minutes before or after a high impact news release should also be avoided, as it can be flagged as excessive risk.
Final Comments
Audacity Capital allows weekend holding across the Ability Challenge, Ability One, and FTP instant funding accounts, on both the challenge and funded stages, which suits swing traders. The flexibility comes with the reminder that the daily loss limit and maximum drawdown remain in force while a position is open.
The main risk is the weekend gap. Prices can move sharply at Monday’s open, and a large enough gap can breach the daily loss limit or maximum drawdown. Position size should be set so a realistic gap stays within those limits, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility.
