Finotive Funding Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Finotive Funding allows holding positions overnight and over the weekend on its evaluation and standard funded accounts. There is no forced closure before the weekend on those account types.
Instant Funding accounts are the exception. Weekend holding on an Instant account is only permitted with the Weekend Holding Add-On. Without the add-on, all positions must be flat before the market closes on Friday, assessed at 17:00 New York time, and a position left open is treated as a soft breach.
Below is a breakdown of how the Finotive Funding weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant | N/A | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant
The Instant Funding account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is not allowed by default. To hold over the weekend you need the Weekend Holding Add-On. Without it, all positions must be flat before the market closes on Friday, checked at 17:00 New York time, and an open position is treated as a soft breach.
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 gap risk to plan for.
2 Step
Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account. There is no requirement to close before the weekend.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight or over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. Finotive Funding 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
On the evaluation and standard funded accounts there is no weekend restriction, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation. On an Instant account without the Weekend Holding Add-On, positions must be flat before the Friday close, assessed at 17:00 New York time. A position left open is treated as a soft breach and counts toward the cumulative Instant Funding soft breach framework. With the add-on active, Instant accounts can hold over the weekend.
Final Comments
Finotive Funding allows weekend holding on its evaluation and standard funded accounts, which suits swing traders. The Instant account is the exception and gates weekend holding behind the Weekend Holding Add-On. Without it, positions must be closed before the Friday close, checked at 17:00 New York time, and leaving one open is a soft breach.
Traders who want to hold over the weekend on an Instant account should add the Weekend Holding Add-On. Swap costs apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
