Prop Firms Allowing Weekend Holding

Many prop firms require you to close all positions before the weekend, which is a major limitation for swing traders and position traders whose strategies depend on holding trades for days or weeks. Firms that allow weekend holding let you maintain positions through Saturday and Sunday, capturing moves from weekend gaps and Monday opens.

Weekend holding adds risk due to potential gap openings, and some firms account for this by widening drawdown limits or adjusting margin requirements for positions held over weekends. The best weekend-holding firms don't penalise you at all — they simply let you hold like a normal trading account.

If your strategy specifically targets weekend gaps or Sunday market opens, make sure the firm doesn't just allow holding but also has reasonable overnight swap rates. Some firms charge excessive swap fees that can erode the profitability of multi-day positions.
