QT Funded Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
QT Funded lets you keep existing positions open over the weekend on all account types. What you cannot do is open new trades or modify existing ones, including adjusting Stop Loss or Take Profit levels, while the market is closed.
If a Take Profit or Stop Loss level is reached over the weekend, the position is not closed at that time. The order is executed at the next available market price when trading resumes, which can mean slippage. QT Funded is not responsible for gaps or slippage from weekend or holiday closures.
Below is a breakdown of how the QT Funded weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Instant (QT Instant) | N/A | Allowed |
| 1 Step (QT Power) | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step (QT Prime) | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
Instant (QT Instant)
The QT Instant account has no evaluation phase. You may keep existing positions open over the weekend on the funded account. You cannot open new trades or modify Stop Loss or Take Profit levels while the market is closed.
1 Step (QT Power)
On the QT Power program, existing positions can be held over the weekend during the evaluation and on the funded account. New trades and modifications are not available over the weekend.
2 Step (QT Prime)
The QT Prime program follows the same rule. Positions opened beforehand can be held over the weekend, but you cannot open, close, or modify trades while the market is closed.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. QT 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
Holding an existing position over the weekend is allowed on all QT Funded accounts, so it does not trigger a violation. What is not available over the weekend is opening new trades or modifying existing ones, including Stop Loss and Take Profit changes. If a TP or SL is reached while the market is closed, the order is executed at the next available price when trading resumes, which can cause slippage. A black swan event during market closure can invalidate the trade’s held profit or loss, and QT Funded is not responsible for weekend gaps or slippage.
Final Comments
QT Funded allows weekend holding on all account types, so swing positions opened before the close can be carried through to Monday. The limitation is that the weekend is read-only. You cannot open new trades or adjust Stop Loss or Take Profit levels while the market is closed.
The main risk is the gap at the reopen. A TP or SL reached over the weekend is filled at the next available price, which can be worse than the level set, and a black swan event can invalidate the trade. Triple swap applies for the weekend rollover, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility.
