TX3 Funding Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
It depends entirely on which TX3 model you buy. GTX Redline allows overnight holding. Type X and SX do not. TX3 publishes it as a headline difference between the programs, so the choice is made at purchase.
Below is a breakdown of how the TX3 Funding weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
Breakdown by Account Type
Type X
Type X is instant funded with no evaluation phase, and overnight holding is listed as Not allowed. Positions must be closed before the market closes, with end of day liquidation applied if you do not. It runs a 4 percent maximum drawdown on every size and a 2.5 percent daily loss limit on the 50K, 100K and 150K, with none on the 25K.
SX
SX is a one phase evaluation designed for intraday trading, and overnight holding is Not allowed in either phase. TX3 describes it plainly as a one phase evaluation for intraday trading, with positions closed before the market closes. The evaluation has no daily drawdown, and once funded only the 50K carries one at 2.5 percent.
GTX Redline
Redline is the exception and TX3 markets it as such: it states that GTX Redline allows overnight holding with no activation fee and the highest payout caps. Overnight holding is Allowed in both the evaluation phase and the funded account. There is no daily loss limit on either phase, and the maximum drawdown is 4 percent across all sizes in the evaluation. The trade-offs are a 50 percent consistency rule during the evaluation, which SX does not have, and a requirement of 5 winning days at $150 profit each before a payout.
What Redline does not say
TX3 states Redline allows overnight holding but does not separately confirm weekend holding in the comparison table. Since overnight holding is the permission that matters and Redline carries no forced end-of-day liquidation, weekend carry follows from it, but if you intend to hold across a Friday close specifically, confirm it with TX3 support first rather than assuming.
Session Close and Reopen Times
Futures accounts do not pay swaps, so what matters instead is knowing exactly when you have to be flat and when the market comes back. These are the times that govern that.
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
On Type X and SX, TX3 applies end of day liquidation rather than a rule breach, so a position left open is closed for you. The daily loss limit on those models is also a soft breach: reaching it locks trading for the remainder of the day and you resume the following session. On Redline the risk is different in kind. With no forced close and no daily limit, nothing stops a position running through the settlement gap, and the 4 percent maximum drawdown is the only thing standing behind it.
Final Comments
Weekend gap risk is the reason this rule exists, and it is why almost every futures firm wants you flat before the close on Friday. Treat the auto-close as a backstop rather than a plan, because the firms that offer it are the same firms that tell you not to rely on it.
