Orion Funded Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
At Orion Funded, weekend holding and overnight holding are not included by default. They are paid add-ons that you activate when you sign up. Without the add-ons, positions cannot be carried overnight or over the weekend.
With the relevant add-on active, you can hold positions overnight and over the weekend. The same risk rules apply while a position is open, and weekend gap risk applies when the market reopens.
Below is a breakdown of how the Orion Funded weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant | N/A | Not Allowed |
| 1 Step | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
| 2 Step | Not Allowed | Not Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant
The Instant account has no evaluation phase. Weekend and overnight holding still require the paid add-ons, without which positions cannot be carried over the weekend on the funded account.
1 Step
By default, overnight and weekend holding are not enabled during the evaluation or on the funded account. Activating the weekend and overnight holding add-ons at sign up is what allows positions to be carried overnight and over the weekend.
2 Step
The 2 Step program follows the same model. Weekend and overnight holding are available only through the paid add-ons, on both the evaluation and the funded account.
Swap and Triple Swap
Where overnight and weekend holding are enabled through the add-ons, swap fees apply on positions held overnight or over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. Orion Funded 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
Without the add-ons, overnight and weekend holding are not available, so a position cannot be carried into the weekend. With the weekend holding add-on active, holding over the weekend is permitted and does not trigger a violation. Traders should confirm the add-ons are active before planning to hold a position over the weekend, and account for weekend gap risk when the market reopens.
Final Comments
Orion Funded treats weekend and overnight holding as paid add-ons rather than default features. Without them, positions must be closed within the session, so the firm suits intraday traders by default. Traders who want to hold over the weekend need to activate the add-ons at sign up.
With the add-ons active, weekend holding works like any other firm that allows it, subject to swap costs and weekend gap risk. The key step is to enable the add-ons before relying on weekend holding, since they cannot protect a position that was opened without them.
