Can I keep positions open over the weekend?

In 1-Step Challenge accounts, holding open positions over the weekend is strictly prohibited.

Updated today

What does this mean?

All trades must be fully closed before the market closes on Friday (according to the instrument’s trading hours).

If any position remains open after the Friday market close, it will be considered a violation of the program rules.


Why does this rule exist?

The market closes on Friday and reopens on Sunday evening. At reopening, the market may experience:

  • Opening gaps

  • Sudden price movements

  • Unexpected volatility

These conditions can directly impact the account’s risk limits and overall evaluation integrity.


Important

Failure to comply with this rule may result in account breach or disqualification, regardless of whether the position is in profit or loss.

Traders are strongly advised to manage their positions accordingly and ensure all trades are closed before the weekly market close.
