FX2 Funding Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
On the FX2 Funding forex programs, the 1 Step, 2 Step, and Instant Funding accounts, holding trades overnight and over the weekend is permitted. There is no requirement to close before the weekend on these accounts.
The Futures program is the exception. Positions cannot be held over the weekend, and all futures positions are closed at the session close of 15:55 CST each weekday. Overnight holding is allowed on the forex programs.
Below is a breakdown of how the FX2 Funding weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant (Instant Funding) | N/A | Allowed |
| 1 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
| Futures | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant (Instant Funding)
The Instant Funding account has no evaluation phase. Holding trades overnight and over the weekend is permitted on the funded account.
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 weekend 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 on the forex program.
Futures
The Futures program does not allow weekend holding. All positions are closed at the session close of 15:55 CST each weekday, and positions cannot be held over the weekend on the evaluation or the funded account.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. FX2 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 FX2 Funding forex programs, the 1 Step, 2 Step, and Instant Funding accounts, holding over the weekend is permitted, so it does not trigger a violation. On the Futures program, weekend holding is not allowed. All futures positions are closed at the session close of 15:55 CST each weekday, and trading reopens at the Globex open of 17:00 CST, so a futures position cannot reach the weekend. Weekend gap risk applies on the forex programs when the market reopens.
Final Comments
FX2 Funding sets its weekend holding policy by program. The forex programs, the 1 Step, 2 Step, and Instant Funding accounts, allow holding overnight and over the weekend, which suits swing traders. The Futures program does not allow weekend holding, since all positions close at the session close each weekday.
Traders who want to hold over the weekend should use the forex programs rather than Futures. Swap costs apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
