FundedNext has announced the reinstatement of weekend holding capabilities for several of its funding accounts, effective May 8, 2026. This significant update impacts traders utilizing Stellar 1-Step, Stellar 2-Step, and Lite FundedNext Accounts. It's worth noting that for Stellar Instant accounts, weekend holding was already permitted.
Implications for Traders
This decision provides greater flexibility for traders, allowing them to manage their strategies with a longer-term view without the need for forced position closures before Friday's market close.
What Changes from Today?
- Trades will not be auto-closed at Friday's market close.
- Positions can remain open throughout the weekend.
- Multi-day and macro trading setups can be held without forced closure.
Context and Rationale
The ability to hold positions over the weekend was a feature previously paused for risk management reasons.
Why was it paused?
Weekend holding was temporarily suspended on January 17, 2026, due to a significant increase in market volatility. At that time, weekend exposure posed a real risk to traders' accounts.
Why is it back now?
The decision to reinstate this feature comes as market conditions have improved. The volatility-driven risk has eased, allowing FundedNext to remove the restriction and once again offer this flexibility to its users.
