How it works:
Markets close on Friday and reopen Sunday night (New York time).
Any positions left open during this period are exposed to weekend gaps — sudden price jumps that can skip over your stop loss.
These gaps count toward your Daily and Maximum Drawdown if they cause losses.
Why we allow it:
Many traders run swing or position strategies that require holding over weekends.
We don’t want to restrict your trading style — we just want you to be aware of the risks.
Benefits for you:
Full flexibility to trade short-term or long-term strategies.
Ability to capture weekend news or event-driven moves if your plan requires it.
Transparent rules: you know upfront that weekend gaps are your responsibility, so you can size trades accordingly.
Our advice:
Use smaller positions if you plan to hold through the weekend.
Factor gaps into your risk management — especially on volatile instruments like crypto and gold.
