The hold is allowed and the gap is still your loss
Evaluations and funded accounts may keep positions over the weekend and overnight. There is no forced Friday flat on the CFD book. That permission is why swing traders pick the firm, and it is why a Sunday gold gap becomes an account problem instead of a missed trade. The gap prints against the day that is already open when the market reopens.
Wednesday triple swap on many FX and metal rolls is the midweek version of the same idea. It is a financing charge, not a spread you can click away. If the charge and a small adverse move land together, they share the $5,000 day. Sign up on Venasri and record swap-heavy symbols next to the day budget before you hold them.
Friday equity can raise the day the gap spends
Daily loss uses the higher of day-start balance or equity at 00:00. A swing that is $2,400 in profit at the snapshot does not donate a cushion. The next day can be hung from that richer equity. Add a Sunday gap of $1,800 and you have spent a large piece of a $5,000 hole on a trade you did not touch. Closed balance from Friday can still look like a win.
Partial the winner down to a size you can watch gap. A leftover of a few hundred dollars is a swing. A leftover of several thousand is a second account. Bot controls can partial at your planned levels before the AquaFunded clock instead of relying on a laptop that is closed for the weekend.
Standard, Pro, and the 1-step do not share the same hole
The 2-step day is 5% on Standard and on Pro. The maximum under that day is a static 10% on Standard and a static 8% on Pro. On $100,000 that is a $10,000 hole or an $8,000 hole. The 1-step day is 4%, or $4,000, and the maximum trails at 6%. A weekend hold on the trail can move the floor when the gap fills in your favor, and it can end the account when the gap fills against you.
Instant and selected rapid tiers also watch a 40% best-day share. A Sunday gap that goes your way and becomes the largest day of the cycle can stall a payout the loss line never threatened. The green gap and the red gap are both weekend problems.
Decide the flatten before the session you will not watch
Equity Guard should already be armed near $4,250 of daily loss on a $100,000 2-step, and near $3,250 on the 1-step. A gap does not wait for you to open the platform. The guard has to be live on the server side of the account before Friday ends. A stop on the ticket still has to exist. The guard is the account brake when the stop fills worse than planned.
News does not take the weekend off in the sense that a Friday CPI hold becomes a Monday problem. Funded accounts also keep a 5-minute red-folder window. A swing that is legal on Saturday can become a news position on Monday morning if you forget it is still working. Know the ticket before the open.
