Top One Trader Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
Weekend holding at Top One Trader depends on the account. On the 1 Step Flash and 2 Step Pro accounts, you are free to hold positions over the weekend with no add-on. On Instant Funding, weekend holding is not available by default and requires the Weekend Holding add-on.
Without the add-on on Instant Funding, all trades are closed at 4:30 PM EST on Friday, and any open positions are closed automatically. Cryptocurrency is an exception, since it can be traded over the weekend when opened after 8 PM EST on Friday.
Below is a breakdown of how the Top One Trader weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step (Flash) | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step (Pro) | Allowed | Allowed |
| Instant (Instant Funding) | N/A | Not Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step (Flash)
Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded account. Positions can be carried over the weekend with no add-on required.
2 Step (Pro)
Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account. There is no requirement to close positions before the weekend on the 2 Step Pro account.
Instant (Instant Funding)
The Instant Funding account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is not allowed by default, and all trades are closed at 4:30 PM EST on Friday. To hold over the weekend you need the Weekend Holding add-on. Cryptocurrency opened after 8 PM EST on Friday can still be traded over the weekend.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. Top One Trader 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 1 Step Flash and 2 Step Pro accounts there is no weekend restriction, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation. On Instant Funding, weekend holding is not available by default. All trades are closed automatically at 4:30 PM EST on Friday, so a position cannot be carried into the weekend unless the Weekend Holding add-on is active. Cryptocurrency opened after 8 PM EST on Friday is the exception and can be traded over the weekend.
Final Comments
Top One Trader sets its weekend holding policy by account. The 1 Step Flash and 2 Step Pro accounts allow weekend holding with no add-on, which suits swing trading. Instant Funding does not allow it by default, since all trades close at 4:30 PM EST on Friday unless the Weekend Holding add-on is purchased.
Traders who use Instant Funding and want to hold over the weekend should add the Weekend Holding option. Cryptocurrency remains tradeable over the weekend when opened after 8 PM EST on Friday. Swap fees apply on overnight and weekend positions, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility when the market reopens.
