FundedX Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Weekend holding at FundedX depends on the account type. Only Elite accounts allow weekend holding. The Instant Funding account, the P1 and P2 challenge accounts, and the Turbo accounts do not allow weekend holding.
On the accounts that do not allow it, positions must be closed before the weekend. Traders who want to hold positions over the weekend should use an Elite account, which is built for that style.
Below is a breakdown of how the FundedX weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant (Instant Funding) | N/A | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step (P1) | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 2 Step (P2) | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| Turbo | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| Elite | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant (Instant Funding)
The Instant Funding account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is not allowed, so positions must be closed before the weekend on the funded account.
1 Step (P1)
On the P1 (one phase) account, weekend holding is not allowed. Positions must be closed before the weekend during the evaluation and on the funded account.
2 Step (P2)
On the P2 (two phase) account, weekend holding is not allowed across either evaluation phase or the funded account. Positions must be closed before the weekend.
Turbo
The Turbo account does not allow weekend holding. Positions must be closed before the weekend, in line with the faster account rules.
Elite
The Elite account is the one built for swing trading. Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded account, so positions can be carried over the weekend.
Swap and Triple Swap
On the Elite account, where weekend holding is allowed, swap or financing charges may apply on positions held over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. FundedX 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 Elite account there is no weekend restriction, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation. On the Instant Funding, P1, P2, and Turbo accounts, weekend holding is not allowed, so positions must be closed before the weekend. Traders on those accounts who want weekend exposure should switch to an Elite account rather than leave a position open, since holding over the weekend is against the rules on the other account types.
Final Comments
FundedX limits weekend holding to its Elite accounts. The Instant Funding account, the P1 and P2 challenges, and the Turbo accounts all require positions to be closed before the weekend, so they suit intraday and short-term traders.
Traders who want to carry positions from Friday to Monday should choose an Elite account, which allows weekend holding on both the evaluation and the funded stage. On the Elite account, swap or financing charges may apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
