The hold is allowed, the model list is not unlimited
Evaluation accounts may carry positions, and so may selected funded models. If you start a free Venasri account, read the model you bought before you leave a book open. Zero, On-Demand, and a standard evaluation do not share every payout rule, and a weekend permission on one of them is not a permission on all of them.
The flagship daily loss is 5%, anchored to the higher of day-start balance or floating equity at 00:00 UTC+3. A weekend hold that is green at Sunday's date line can raise Monday's reference before the gap even prints. The 1-Step daily line is 4%, so the same gap is a larger share of that day.
Friday is a margin check, not a published leverage table
The rule is to check margin leverage reductions before Friday's close. No single reduced ratio is stated for every instrument. Assuming the weekday leverage still applies into the weekend is how a legal hold becomes a margin event. Look up the symbol you actually hold.
Platforms are MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, and TradeLocker. MT5 bot control should be able to show the position before the close so the reduction is a planned cut, not a surprise liquidation. Third-party risk tools are allowed. A full entry robot still needs proof you own the source code.
Swap and the gap spend the 5% bucket
The triple swap on Wednesday is inside the daily loss, not beside it. The Sunday open gap is inside it too. On a $100,000 flagship account the day is $5,000 from the higher midnight reference. A gap that looks small in points can be large in that cash.
Standard's static maximum is 10%, Pro's is 6%, and Flex's is 12%. None of those lifetime floors absorb the gap for you. Equity Guard has to be set to the daily percentage of the model, because a 12% Flex life and a 5% day are different numbers.
News on the funded book is a 5-minute window
On the funded stage, high-impact news is restricted in a 5-minute window unless the payout mode you chose says otherwise. A weekend hold that runs into a Monday release can meet that window while the gap is still being digested. Evaluation holding permission does not erase the funded news clause.
The hyperactivity threshold remains 2,000 requests a day. Adjusting a weekend stop every few minutes to dodge a gap is a request problem and a cash problem. The $399 fee on the $100,000 challenge is not an extra day of loss room. Minimum trading days on the evaluation are three.
