Can I hold my trades over the weekend?

You are allowed to keep trades open over the weekends on all Upcomers CFD and 24/7 Markets accounts, including funded accounts. Futures accounts on Upcomers X are the exception: every open futures position is closed automatically at 4:50 PM ET (3:50 PM CT) each trading day, Friday included, so futures positions cannot be held over the weekend. However, it's essential to be cautious about the risks associated with market gaps, especially when trading pairs that are not actively traded during the weekend, such as Forex pairs, Indices, and Commodities.

As a risk manager, it is your responsibility to assess the potential risks and rewards of holding a position over the weekend. We aim to provide flexibility and not restrict a trader's strategy. However, it's crucial to understand that if a market gap occurs and results in a rule violation, the trader assumes full responsibility for any resulting consequences.
