On the Qualified Analyst funded account, holding trades over the weekend is not allowed. Doing so results in a soft breach where profits from those trades are removed, but the account remains active provided the updated balance does not fall below the maximum allowed drawdown.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Swing)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is fully allowed during both the evaluation and funded phase with no restrictions.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Standard)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed during both evaluation phases. On the Qualified Analyst funded account, holding trades over the weekend is not allowed and results in a soft breach. Profits from the offending trades are removed but the account remains active.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Swing)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is fully allowed during both evaluation phases and the funded phase with no restrictions.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Step (Alpha Three)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is fully allowed across all three evaluation phases and the funded phase with no restrictions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 5: Swap table --><\/p>\n<h3>Swap and Triple Swap<\/h3>\n<p>Swap fees apply on all Alpha Capital accounts that permit overnight and weekend holding. Triple swap is applied on specific days depending on the instrument being traded.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Instrument<\/th>\n<th>Triple Swap Day<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>FX pairs<\/td>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Metals<\/td>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Indices<\/td>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Other instruments<\/td>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- SECTION 6: Warning system --><\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations<\/h3>\n<p>Alpha Capital does not operate a progressive warning system for weekend holding violations on Standard funded accounts. Holding trades over the weekend on a Qualified Analyst Pro funded account results in a soft breach. Profits from the trades held over the weekend are removed, but the account remains active provided the balance does not fall below the maximum drawdown limit. There are no warnings before the soft breach is applied.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 7: Final comments --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Alpha Capital offers weekend holding flexibility across most of its account types. The Swing, One, and Three plan accounts allow it freely at all stages. The only restriction applies to the Qualified Analyst Pro funded account, where a soft breach is applied for weekend holding. Traders on Standard funded accounts who want to hold positions over the weekend should switch to the Swing account type. Swap fees apply whenever positions are held overnight or over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SECTION 8: Promo --><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and get exclusive discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/alpha-capital\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Capital Prop Firm Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(to right, #1e40af, #2563eb); padding: 10px; text-align: center; border-radius: 10px; margin-top: 20px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #fff; margin: 0; font-weight: bold; text-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\">Unlock Your Discount with Alpha Capital<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/alpha-capital\/\"><br \/>\n<button style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #2a3da4; padding: 10px 20px; border: none; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); font-size: 16px;\">Get Discount<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SECTION 9: FAQ --><\/p>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h4>Is weekend holding allowed at Alpha Capital?<\/h4>\n<p>It depends on the account type.
