Weekend permission is a variant, not a mood
Positions may be held over the weekend on the Swing challenge variant. That is the published permission. A Classic or One Phase login that is not on that variant should be flat into the close. A small green gold ticket left on by accident is not a small oversight if the contract forbids the hold. The dollars of the gap are a second problem that you only reach if the hold was legal.
On a legal Swing book the gap still spends the daily budget of whichever session contains it. Gold at 1.00 lot is $10 per 0.10, so 40 pips is $400 and 100 pips is $1,000. At 1.45 lots those figures are $580 and $1,450. Two metals positions that gap the same way are one idea counted twice. Bot controls should flatten non-Swing books before the weekend and should cap Swing gold so a 100-pip hole is still a fraction of the day.
Wednesday triple swap is a debit, not a rounding error
Triple-swap Wednesday charges land on positions carried through the rollover, and they count toward the 5% day the same way a losing tick does. On a large index or gold hold the swap can be tens or hundreds of dollars. It will not show up as a bad entry. It shows up as a balance change while you are asleep, inside a day that may already be partly spent.
Classic on $100,000 has $5,000. If London already lost $2,200, a swap plus a Sunday-style gap is not spare change. One Phase has only $4,000 on the day and a 6% end-of-day trail under the maximum. A carry trade that made sense on a cash account can be the trade that lifts nothing and still dents the trail once the day closes red. Know the swap before you call the hold a swing.
00:00 can reprice the hold before Sunday even opens
The daily reference is day-start balance plus floating equity at 00:00 server time, UTC+2 or UTC+3. A Friday runner that is $3,000 ahead at that snapshot can raise Saturday's reference, and the Sunday gap then spends the new day rather than Friday's leftover room. Traders who think the weekend is one continuous P/L bucket are using a clock the firm does not use.
If the Swing plan is real, size the stop for the gap and for the swap, and accept that the 00:00 snapshot will notice the float. If the plan was a day trade that got away from you, partial or close before the snapshot. Start a Venasri account and mark the login as Swing or not. The mark is what decides whether the bot is allowed to carry the ticket. The chart is not.
The flatten has to exist before the market goes quiet
Equity Guard cannot invent liquidity at the Sunday open. Set it for the session you can still act in. On Classic $100,000 that is a flatten near $4,250 during live hours, so you do not carry a book that is already $3,000 down into a gap that only needs $2,000 more. On One Phase use about $3,250 against the $4,000 day. A guard threshold left at the official print is too late for a gap, because the gap fills through it.
Funded positions still need a stop, including Swing holds. The stop has to be wide enough to mean something and small enough that a full gap through it fits inside the day. News does not take the weekend off in the sense that Monday's 2-minute window still applies if you are funded and still in the trade. The 45% payout score will also treat a single gap-win as a best day. A legal hold can still be an illegal shape of profit.
