WSFunded Weekend Holding Rule
The Simple Answer
WSFunded allows you to keep and open positions over the weekend, with no need to add any extra add-on. Weekend holding is available by default, so positions can be carried across the evaluation and funded stages.
Because the weekend restriction is removed, both profits and losses can be affected by gaps when the market reopens, so proper risk management is required. Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend.
Below is a breakdown of how the WSFunded weekend holding rules apply across different account types and stages.
| Challenge Type | Evaluation Phase | Funded Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
| 2 Step | Allowed | Allowed |
Breakdown by Account Type
1 Step
Weekend holding is allowed during the evaluation and on the funded account, with no add-on required. Positions can be carried over the weekend, with swap costs and weekend gap risk to plan for.
2 Step
Weekend holding is allowed across both evaluation phases and the funded account. There is no requirement to close before the weekend on WSFunded accounts.
Swap and Triple Swap
Swap fees apply on positions held overnight and over the weekend, based on standard market conditions for each instrument. WSFunded 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.
| Instrument | Triple Swap Day |
|---|---|
| FX pairs | Wednesday |
| Metals | Wednesday |
| Indices | Friday |
| Other instruments | Friday |
Warning System for Weekend Holding Violations
There is no weekend restriction to breach at WSFunded, so weekend holding does not trigger a violation. Because the weekend condition is removed by default, gaps when the market reopens affect both profits and losses, so proper risk management is required. The risks are market based, mainly the weekend gap and thin liquidity at the open, plus swap costs on positions held over the weekend.
Final Comments
WSFunded allows weekend holding by default, with no add-on needed, which suits swing traders who want to carry positions from Friday to Monday. Positions can be both kept and opened over the weekend.
The main thing to manage is risk. Removing the weekend condition means gaps can move the account in either direction at the open, so position size should reflect that. Swap costs apply on positions held over the weekend, and weekend gap risk remains the trader’s responsibility.
