Allows Weekend Holding

The ability to hold positions open over the weekend is an important rule for swing trading and positional traders. The market close from Friday to Sunday can generate significant gaps upon reopening, and prop firms have different policies regarding assuming this risk with their capital.

Firms that allow weekend holding tend to be more flexible with longer-term trading styles. If your strategy requires holding positions for several days or weeks, this feature is essential. Verify whether weekend holding permission applies to all instruments or only some, if there are restrictions on position size you can hold, and how weekend gaps are managed in relation to your drawdown.
