FundedNext Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Weekend holding at FundedNext depends on the account type. On the Stellar Challenge accounts, weekend holding is allowed. Once you pass and move to a FundedNext Account, weekend holding is not allowed, and all positions must be closed before market closure or any rollover longer than two hours.
The Stellar Instant Account is the exception. It has no evaluation phase and allows holding positions overnight and over the weekend with no restriction. Overnight holding is allowed on every account type, and swap charges apply to positions held overnight or over the weekend.
Below is a breakdown of how the FundedNext weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step (Stellar) | Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 2 Step (Stellar) | Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step (Stellar Lite) | Allowed | Not Allowed |
| Instant (Stellar Instant) | N/A | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Stellar)
Weekend holding is allowed during the single evaluation phase. After you pass and the account becomes a FundedNext Account, weekend holding is not allowed. All running positions are closed before market closure or for any rollover longer than two hours.
2 Step (Stellar)
Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases. On the funded FundedNext Account the restriction applies, so positions cannot be held over the weekend and are closed before market closure.
1 Step (Stellar Lite)
Weekend holding is allowed during the Stellar Lite evaluation. Once funded, the FundedNext Account rule applies and weekend holding is not allowed.
Instant (Stellar Instant)
The Stellar Instant Account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is allowed with no restriction, and positions can be kept open over the weekend. Swap charges apply and count toward the loss calculation.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap charges apply to positions held overnight or over the weekend, and they count toward your daily loss calculation. Swap rates depend on the instrument and can be checked in MT5 under the specification for each pair. Triple swap is charged on a single day during the week to cover the weekend rollover.
| Instrument | Triple Swap Day |
|---|---|
| Forex | Wednesday |
| Commodities | Wednesday |
| Indices | Friday |
| Crypto | Friday |
Swap charges do not apply on a Swap-Free Account.
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
On the Stellar Challenge accounts and the Stellar Instant Account, weekend holding is allowed, so no violation arises. On a FundedNext Account, weekend holding is not allowed. All running positions and pending orders must be closed before the market closes, or if a rollover lasts longer than two hours. If you do not close them manually, the system closes the positions and pending orders automatically.
Final Comments
FundedNext splits its weekend holding policy by account. The Stellar Challenge accounts allow weekend holding during the evaluation, and the Stellar Instant Account allows it with no restriction. The restriction appears only after a challenge is passed and the account becomes a FundedNext Account, where positions must be closed before the weekend and for any rollover longer than two hours.
Traders who want to hold over the weekend on a funded basis can use the Stellar Instant Account, which has no weekend restriction. Swap charges apply on overnight and weekend positions and count toward the loss calculation, except on a Swap-Free Account. Weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility.
