Hola Prime Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Weekend holding at Hola Prime depends on the account. Prime accounts trade 24 by 7 and can hold positions over the weekend in both the Challenge and the funded phase, with no need to close before the weekend.
The 2-Step Pro account allows weekend holding only during the Challenge phase. On the funded Hola Prime Account, weekend holding is not allowed, and any trade open at 15:45 EST on Friday is closed automatically and the account is disabled until you ask to re-enable it. On the Direct Model, weekend holding is not allowed and is a hard breach that terminates the account.
Below is a breakdown of how the Hola Prime weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Prime (Prime Challenge) | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step (Pro) | Allowed | Not Allowed |
| Direct (Direct Model) | N/A | Not Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Prime (Prime Challenge)
Prime accounts trade 24 by 7. Weekend holding is allowed in both the Challenge phase and the funded Hola Prime Account. You are not required to close positions before the weekend, so trades can remain open through the market close and reopen.
2 Step (Pro)
Holding trades over the weekend is allowed in Challenge Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Pro account. On the funded Hola Prime Account, weekend holding is not allowed. Any trade still open at 15:45 EST on Friday is closed automatically and the account is disabled. You can request to have it re-enabled to continue trading from Monday. Profit from trades the system closes on Friday still counts toward the payout, and the trader is responsible if a resulting loss breaches the daily or maximum loss limit.
Direct (Direct Model)
On Hola Prime Accounts issued under the Direct Model, weekend holding is not allowed and is treated as a hard breach. All trades must be closed before 15:45 EST on Friday. Any trade left open at that time is closed automatically, and the account is terminated for violating the weekend holding rule.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight or over the weekend on the accounts that allow it, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. A Swap-Free add-on is available. Hola Prime 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 Prime accounts there is no weekend restriction, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation in either phase. On the 2-Step Pro funded account, any trade open at 15:45 EST on Friday is closed automatically and the account is disabled until you request to re-enable it. This is not a termination, and profit from the system close still counts toward the payout, but a resulting loss that breaches the daily or maximum loss limit is the trader’s responsibility. On the Direct Model, weekend holding is a hard breach, and the account is terminated. The 15:45 EST cutoff is set before the 17:00 EST weekend rollover to avoid worse fills and to allow accounts to be closed in bulk.
Final Comments
Hola Prime sets its weekend holding policy by account. Prime accounts are the weekend friendly option, allowing holds in both the Challenge and the funded phase with 24 by 7 trading. The 2-Step Pro account allows weekend holding only during the Challenge phase, while the funded Pro account closes open trades at 15:45 EST on Friday and disables the account until re-enabled. The Direct Model does not allow weekend holding at all and treats it as a hard breach.
Traders who want to hold positions through the weekend on a funded account should use a Prime account. On Pro and Direct accounts, close positions before 15:45 EST on Friday. Swap costs apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
