FunderPro Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Weekend holding is allowed on the Instant account without any add-on. On the 1 Step, 2 Step Classic, and 2 Step Pro accounts, weekend holding is not allowed by default. The Swing Add-on must be purchased at checkout to unlock it. Without the add-on, all trades must be closed by Friday at 16:30 EST and leaving trades open results in an immediate account breach.

|---|---|---|
| Instant | N/A | Allowed |
| 1 Step (One Phase) | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
