There is no rule that forces you to close trades before the weekend, so weekend holding is permitted at every stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';\">The firm reminds traders that it is their responsibility to manage rollover swap conditions, volatility, liquidity, and spreads. Swap costs can be high on some instruments over the weekend. The swap on Crude Oil is charged at ten times the normal rate over the weekend.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 3: Table --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the The5ers weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Challenge Type<\/th>\n<th>Evaluation Phase<\/th>\n<th>Funded Phase<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step (Hyper Growth)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step (High Stakes)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3 Step (Bootcamp)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- SECTION 4: Breakdown by account type --><\/p>\n<h4>Breakdown by Account Type<\/h4>\n<h3>1 Step (Hyper Growth)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed throughout the Hyper Growth program and on the funded account. Positions can stay open over the weekend, but traders should account for swap costs and weekend gap risk when the market reopens.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (High Stakes)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account on the High Stakes program. There is no requirement to close positions before the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Step (Bootcamp)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed across all three Bootcamp phases and the funded account. Holding indices and commodities over the weekend can carry very high swaps, so position size should reflect that.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 5: Swap --><\/p>\n<h3>Swap and Triple Swap<\/h3>\n<p>Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. Some instruments carry high weekend swaps, and the swap on Crude Oil is charged at ten times the normal rate over the weekend. The5ers 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.<\/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>There is no weekend restriction to breach at The5ers, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation, warning, or penalty on any program. The risks tied to weekend holding are market based rather than rule based, and high swap charges on certain instruments are the main cost to plan for.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7: Final comments --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>The5ers allows weekend holding across every program and stage, which gives swing traders full flexibility. The firm is clear that the responsibility for managing swap costs, volatility, and weekend gaps sits with the trader.<\/p>\n<p>Swap costs are the main thing to watch. Some instruments carry high weekend swaps, and Crude Oil is charged at ten times the normal rate over the weekend. Position size and instrument choice should reflect that, since weekend gap risk remains the trader&#8217;s responsibility when the market reopens.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 8: Promo --><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Learn more details and compare prop firm discounts here: <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Propvator.com<\/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);\">Find the Best Prop Firm Deals on Propvator<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/propvator.com\/\"><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;\">Compare Prop Firms<\/button><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SECTION 9: FAQ --><\/p>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h4>Is weekend holding allowed at The5ers?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes.
