Ment Funding Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
On the Ment Funding Forex program, weekend holding is not allowed by default. Positions are closed at 3:45 PM EST on Friday unless you add the weekend holding option at checkout. Holding positions overnight during the week is allowed.
The rule differs by program. The Futures program does not allow weekend holds, since open positions close at the end of the Globex session. The Equities program allows overnight and weekend holds on S&P 100 names under its swing program.
Below is a breakdown of how the Ment Funding weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step (Forex) | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step (Futures) | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step (Equities Swing) | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Forex)
The Forex program is a one step evaluation. By default, weekend holding is not allowed, and positions are closed at 3:45 PM EST on Friday. Adding the weekend holding option at checkout lets you hold positions through the weekend. Overnight holding during the week is allowed.
1 Step (Futures)
The Futures program does not allow weekend holds. Open positions close automatically at the end of the Globex session, so positions cannot be carried into the weekend on either the evaluation or the funded account.
1 Step (Equities Swing)
The Equities program allows overnight and weekend holds on S&P 100 names under its swing program, on both the evaluation and the funded account. Holding through an announced corporate action such as earnings, dividends, or splits is not allowed.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight or over the weekend on the programs and instruments where holding is permitted, based on standard market conditions. Ment 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 Forex program, leaving a position open past 3:45 PM EST on Friday without the weekend holding add-on results in an automatic close. This is a soft breach, and trading can resume when the market reopens. With the weekend holding option active, positions can be carried through the weekend. On the Futures program, open positions close at the end of the Globex session, so they cannot reach the weekend. On the Equities swing program, weekend holds are permitted, but holding through an announced corporate action is a hard breach.
Final Comments
Ment Funding sets its weekend holding policy by program. The Forex one step program closes positions at 3:45 PM EST on Friday by default, and the weekend holding option at checkout is what unlocks weekend holds. Overnight holding during the week is allowed on Forex.
The Futures program does not allow weekend holds at all, since positions close at the end of the Globex session. The Equities program is the most flexible for swing trading, allowing overnight and weekend holds on S&P 100 names, with the exception that holding through an announced corporate action is not allowed. Swap costs and weekend gap risk remain the trader’s responsibility.
