Which Stellar books can stay open
Weekend and overnight holding is allowed on Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step, and Lite. You do not have to be flat on Friday for the hold itself to be legal. The 5% daily loss on 2-Step, or the 3% daily loss on 1-Step, still applies to the gap. Equity Guard should stay on through the weekend, because the breach does not wait for you to open the platform on Monday.
Wednesday triple-swap charges also count toward that daily loss. A swing that looks flat on points can still spend dollars on the swap. On $100,000 the 2-Step day is $5,000. A gap plus a swap can consume that figure without a new decision from you.
The Sunday gap and the 00:00 base
Daily loss is anchored from day-start balance, with an equity check at rollover, and the clock is 00:00 server time, GMT+2 or GMT+3. A position that is green at the stamp raises the base the next 5% hangs from. A Sunday gap down then spends the new day. The hold was allowed. The arithmetic still ran.
Minimum trading days are five, so a weekend hold is not a substitute for five sessions. Phase 1 is 8% and Phase 2 is 5%. Open a Venasri account if the weekend book needs a written flatten rule for the cases where the float is large relative to the 5% day.
A legal hold is not a legal new order at the release
Challenge phases allow news. On funded accounts, a 5-minute window before and after high-impact news can restrict the trade or affect the split unless an add-on covers it. A weekend hold that is already open is a different event from a fresh order placed inside that window. Read the stage you are in before you add size into the release.
The $100,000 fee is $549. It does not include a promise that Sunday liquidity will respect your stop. The bot can keep the stop attached and can pause new funded entries in the 5-minute news window. It should not flatten a hold the firm already allows, unless your own risk rule says the float is too large.
CFD swings and the futures 40% score
Stellar CFD evaluations do not use a consistency score. A weekend winner can be a large piece of the 8% target without a best-day penalty on those plans. Selected Futures challenges use a 40% consistency score. If the weekend trade is on the futures book, one Sunday-to-Monday move can become a payout problem even when the 5% day survives.
EAs may run on MT4 and MT5 when the option is active, inside 200 trades or 2,000 modifications a day. A weekend trail that keeps editing the stop can spend that cap before Monday's cash open. The hold is allowed. The modification count is not unlimited.
