The Friday flatten rule is designed to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity conditions, and it applies across the account types.<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 3 --><br \/>\nBelow is a breakdown of how the IC Funded 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>Overnight holding is allowed during the week, but weekend holding is not. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week, on both the evaluation and the funded account.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Step<\/h3>\n<p>The 2 Step Professional Program follows the same rule. Overnight holding is allowed, but a Friday flatten is required across both evaluation phases and the funded account, so positions cannot be carried into 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. IC Funded 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>Weekend holding is not permitted at IC Funded. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week. Any position that remains open may be closed automatically. The rule is designed to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity conditions, and traders are expected to comply at all times. Overnight holding during the week does not breach this rule.<br \/>\n<!-- SECTION 7 --><\/p>\n<h3>Final Comments<\/h3>\n<p>IC Funded requires a Friday flatten, so weekend holding is not allowed on any account. All trades must be closed before the market closes for the week, and positions left open may be closed automatically. The rule exists to limit exposure to weekend gaps and low liquidity when the market reopens.<\/p>\n<p>Overnight holding during the trading week is allowed, so intraday and multi-day traders can hold through the week, but positions must be flat by Friday&#8217;s close. Traders who need to carry positions across the weekend would need a firm that permits weekend holding.<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 IC Funded?<\/h4>\n<p>No. A Friday flatten is required, so all trades must be closed before the market closes for the week.
