There is no rule that forces you to close before the weekend, so weekend holding is permitted across the evaluation and funded stages.<\/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';\">Two things still apply while a position is open. The maximum daily loss resets at 5 PM EST using the higher of balance or equity, and the Guardian Shield closes all open trades if floating loss reaches 2 percent, or 1 percent on the Instant account.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 3 --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the Blue Guardian 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>Instant (Standard)<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step (Standard)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step (Standard)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step (Pro)<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- SECTION 4 --><\/p>\n<h4>Breakdown by Account Type<\/h4>\n<h3>Instant (Standard)<\/h3>\n<p>The Instant account has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is allowed on the funded account. The Guardian Shield closes open trades at a 1 percent floating loss on Instant accounts, so size positions with that buffer in mind.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step (Standard)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded account. Positions can be carried over the weekend, with the daily loss limit and Guardian Shield still active.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Standard)<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account. There is no requirement to close before the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step (Pro)<\/h3>\n<p>The Pro account also allows weekend holding across both phases and the funded account. The same daily loss reset and Guardian Shield apply.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 5 --><\/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. Blue Guardian 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 --><\/p>\n<h3>Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations<\/h3>\n<p>There is no weekend restriction to breach at Blue Guardian, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation on any account. Two mechanics still apply while a trade is open. The maximum daily loss resets at 5 PM EST using the higher of balance or equity, and a weekend gap can push an account past that limit at Monday&#8217;s open. The Guardian Shield also closes all open trades if floating loss reaches 2 percent, or 1 percent on the Instant account.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7 --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Blue Guardian allows weekend holding across every account type and stage, which suits swing traders. The flexibility comes with two mechanics to plan around. The daily loss limit resets at 5 PM EST, and a weekend gap can breach it when the market reopens, while the Guardian Shield closes open trades at a 2 percent floating loss, or 1 percent on Instant.<\/p>\n<p>Swap fees apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader&#8217;s responsibility. Sizing positions so a realistic Monday gap stays within the daily loss limit and the Guardian Shield buffer is the main thing to manage.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 8 --><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 --><\/p>\n<h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h4>Is weekend holding allowed at Blue Guardian?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. Blue Guardian allows holding positions overnight and over the weekend on all account types, across the evaluation and funded stages.<\/p>\n<h4>Is there a penalty for holding over the weekend?<\/h4>\n<p>No. There is no weekend specific rule. The risks are market based, mainly the weekend gap and the daily loss limit that resets at 5 PM EST.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the Guardian Shield?<\/h4>\n<p>A mechanism that closes all open trades if floating loss reaches 2 percent, or 1 percent on the Instant account. It can trigger on a weekend gap at the open.<\/p>\n<h4>Do swap fees apply over the weekend?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument.<\/p>\n<h4>What is the main risk of holding over the weekend?<\/h4>\n<p>A weekend gap at Monday&#8217;s open can push the account past the daily loss limit or trigger the Guardian Shield, so position size should account for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Guardian allows weekend holding on all accounts.
