Weekend holding is a switch, not a personality
The firm offers the hold. It does not apply it silently to every login. Check the account before you leave a runner on Friday. Enhanced and Express can carry the option. Instant remains manual only, so an advisor that "manages the weekend" there is illegal even if the option appears to exist in your head. MT4 and MT5 will both happily hold a position the contract does not allow.
Overnight holding inside the trading week is the smaller decision. The weekend is the one with the gap. Register with Venasri and write yes or no on the swing card so Monday is not a discovery process.
Price the gap in cash before you keep the lot
At $10 per 0.10 move, 1.00 lot of gold costs about $10 per pip of gap. Sixty pips is $600. Forty pips is $400. One hundred pips is $1,000, a full 1% on $100,000. The 0.80 to 1.45 lot band used for active gold sessions is too heavy for a weekend if a 60-pip open would push you through the remaining daily room. At 1.45 lots that 60-pip gap is about $870.
FX is cheaper per lot and still real. A 40-pip gap on 2.00 lots at $10 per pip is $800. Bot controls should cut or flatten on Friday when open gap risk exceeds one planned unit, about $500 on a $100,000 Enhanced book.
Triple financing posts against day-start balance
The daily allowance is a percentage of the balance at 00:00, 5% on Enhanced and 4% on Express. A triple swap on Wednesday is a cash debit inside that allowance. It does not care that your entry was clever on Tuesday. On a large metal book the charge can approach a normal stop-out without a new tick you would bother to screenshot.
Because the base is day-start balance, a floating winner into Sunday does not hand you a larger loss budget. If the gap gives the winner back, you spend it against the allowance that was set at the reset. The Express 6% trail may also have ratcheted up on Friday's high, so the weekend giveback can threaten the trail and the daily line together. Enhanced's static $90,000 floor will not ratchet, and the daily line will still bill you.
Arm the flatten on Friday, using the product you actually hold
Equity Guard at $4,250 is right for Enhanced and late for Express. Express should sit near $3,250. If Friday's open loss is already inside $1,000 of that flatten, do not add a weekend gap on top. Flat is a complete trading decision. The zero minimum-day rule means you are not punished for an empty Monday.
Funded accounts add a two-minute news window. A position held from Thursday can collide with Friday data inside that window. The 2,000 message cap still applies if an advisor babysits the hold with constant edits. Profit share, 80% or 90%, is calculated on what survives. A $600 gap is $480 or $540 of shared profit that never gets to the bi-weekly or 7-day cycle.
