Without it, leaving a trade open past the Friday cutoff is a soft breach, so the trade is closed but the account continues.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 3 --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the Lark Funding 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<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 Step<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<td>Not Allowed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- SECTION 4 --><\/p>\n<h4>Breakdown by Account Type<\/h4>\n<h3>1 Step<\/h3>\n<p>By default, weekend holding is not allowed during the evaluation or on the funded account. All trades are closed at 3:45 PM EST on Friday. Adding the weekend holding option at checkout lets you carry positions through the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step<\/h3>\n<p>The same default applies across both evaluation phases and the funded account. Without the weekend holding add-on, positions must be closed by 3:45 PM EST on Friday.<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. Lark Funding 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>By default, leaving a trade open past 3:45 PM EST on Friday is not allowed. The trade is closed automatically, and this is treated as a soft breach, so the account continues and you can keep trading once the markets reopen. With the weekend holding add-on active, holding over the weekend is permitted and does not trigger a breach. Traders should confirm the add-on is active before planning to hold a position over the weekend.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7 --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>Lark Funding closes positions at 3:45 PM EST on Friday by default, so the firm suits intraday traders unless the weekend holding option is added. The add-on costs an extra 10 percent of the challenge fee and is selected at checkout, after which positions can be carried through the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving a trade open past the Friday cutoff without the add-on is only a soft breach, so the trade is closed but the account is not lost. Traders who rely on weekend holding should enable the add-on at purchase, since it cannot be applied to a position opened without it. Swap costs and weekend gap risk apply where holding is enabled.<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 Lark Funding?<\/h4>\n<p>Not by default.
