FundedElite Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
FundedElite allows weekend holding on all account types. You can keep a position that was opened on Friday open through to Monday, so holding across the weekend is permitted.
What is not allowed is weekend trading, meaning opening, closing, or actively executing trades on Saturday and Sunday, unless you buy the Weekend Trading add-on. A stop loss or take profit that fills during the weekend also counts as a weekend trading violation, so leave enough margin on open positions.
Below is a breakdown of how the FundedElite weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step (Challenge) | Allowed | Allowed |
| Instant (Challenge) | N/A | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Challenge)
Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded account. A position opened on Friday can be held through to Monday. Opening or closing trades during the weekend is not allowed without the Weekend Trading add-on, and a stop loss or take profit filling over the weekend counts as a violation.
Instant (Challenge)
The Instant account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is allowed on the funded account under the same terms. Positions can be carried over the weekend, but actively trading on Saturday or Sunday requires the Weekend Trading add-on.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. FundedElite 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
Holding a position through the weekend is allowed and does not trigger a violation. The violation to avoid is weekend trading, which means opening or closing trades on Saturday or Sunday, or having a stop loss or take profit fill during the weekend, without the Weekend Trading add-on. Detection of weekend trading can result in account termination, though FundedElite reviews each flagged case and may offer a reset. Modifying a stop loss or take profit level over the weekend is allowed. There is also a minimum hold time of three minutes per trade.
Final Comments
FundedElite allows weekend holding on every account, so swing traders can carry positions from Friday to Monday. The key distinction is between holding and trading. Holding through the weekend is fine, but opening, closing, or having an order fill during the weekend counts as weekend trading and is not allowed without the add-on.
Traders who want to actively trade on Saturday and Sunday can buy the Weekend Trading add-on before purchasing the challenge. Otherwise, leave enough margin so a stop loss or take profit does not fill while the market is thin, and remember the three minute minimum hold time. Swap costs and weekend gap risk remain the trader’s responsibility.
