All trades must be closed by Friday 23:45 GMT+3, and a trade left open is treated as a soft breach, which closes the breaching trade while the account continues.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 3 --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the Hantec Trader 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 (Instant Funding)<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Step<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step<\/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 (Instant Funding)<\/h3>\n<p>The Instant Funding program has no evaluation phase. Weekend holding is not allowed, and all trades must be closed by Friday 23:45 GMT+3. A trade left open is a soft breach, so the breaching trade is closed while the account continues. Cryptocurrencies can still be traded over the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>1 Step<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded Hantec Trader account. Positions can be carried over the weekend, and crypto can be traded throughout. Swap costs and weekend gap risk apply.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step<\/h3>\n<p>Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account. There is no requirement to close before the weekend, and cryptocurrencies can be traded over the weekend.<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. Hantec 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.<\/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>On the challenge and funded Hantec Trader accounts there is no weekend restriction, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation. On the Instant Funding program, weekend holding is not allowed. All trades must be closed by Friday 23:45 GMT+3, and a trade left open is a soft breach, which closes the breaching trade while allowing the account to continue. Cryptocurrencies can be traded over the weekend on all programs.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7 --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Hantec Trader allows weekend holding on its challenge and funded accounts, which suits swing traders, and lets cryptocurrencies be traded over the weekend across all programs. The Instant Funding program is the exception and does not allow weekend holding, with all trades closed by Friday 23:45 GMT+3 and a soft breach applied to anything left open.<\/p>\n<p>Traders who want to hold over the weekend should use the standard challenge programs rather than Instant Funding. Swap costs apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader&#8217;s responsibility when the market reopens.<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 Hantec Trader?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes on all programs except Instant Funding.
