SabioTrade Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
SabioTrade allows you to keep your trades open over the weekend. You do not need to close positions before the market closes on Friday, so a trade can be carried across the weekend and through to Monday.
This gives swing and longer-term traders the flexibility to hold positions without closing and reopening them. Overnight holding is allowed on all accounts, and swap or rollover charges apply on positions held past the daily rollover.
Below is a breakdown of how the SabioTrade weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step (Assessment) | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Assessment)
SabioTrade runs a single assessment that leads to a funded Award account. Weekend holding is allowed during the assessment and on the funded account. Positions can be kept open over the weekend without the Friday rush of closing before the market shuts, with swap costs and weekend gap risk to plan for.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. SabioTrade 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
Keeping a trade open over the weekend is allowed at SabioTrade, so it does not trigger a violation. Any soft rule breach at SabioTrade closes the offending trade while the account continues, rather than terminating it. The main risk of weekend holding is market based, mainly the gap when the market reopens on Monday, which can move a position sharply, plus swap costs on positions held over the weekend.
Final Comments
SabioTrade allows weekend holding, so traders can keep positions open over the weekend rather than closing before Friday’s market shut. This supports longer-term strategies and lets traders capitalize on Monday market gaps from weekend news.
The main thing to plan for is the weekend gap. Prices can open well away from Friday’s close, which can work for or against a position, and swap or rollover charges apply on positions held over the weekend. Weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
