Tuesday night and Friday night are different permissions
Overnight holding is allowed on ThinkCapital. A trade opened Monday can still be open Tuesday morning without a special add-on. The weekend is the exception on a funded account: holding through Saturday and Sunday requires the swing add-on. An evaluation habit of leaving gold open on Friday does not automatically survive the upgrade to funded. Check the add-on before the Friday flatten deadline, not after the market has closed.
The daily reset does not wait for you to notice the gap. At 00:00 ThinkMarkets server time, GMT+2 or GMT+3, the anchor is the higher of day-start balance or equity. A Friday runner that is still open at that snapshot can lift the base. Sunday open then spends the new day. On Dual Step that day is 4%, or $4,000 on $100,000. On Lightning it is 3%, or $3,000.
Wednesday charges three days of financing in one hit
Rollover from Wednesday into Thursday typically bills three days of swap, because the weekend days are bundled into that night. ThinkCapital counts that cash debit toward the daily loss. A book that is flat on price and suddenly down a few hundred dollars has not been wicked. It has been financed. On a $100,000 account, a $400 swap debit is 0.40% of the balance and a tenth of a Dual Step day, before the market has moved.
Swap is larger when the lot is larger and when the symbol carries a wide financing spread. Two lots of gold held for the triple night cost more than 0.50 lots of EURUSD. If the position is also near its stop, the swap can be the nudge that fills it. Bot controls should show the financing debit as part of daily loss, not as a separate cosmetic fee that the 4% line ignores.
The Sunday gap is the new day starting at the open
A Sunday gap does not get a fresh loss budget of its own. It prints inside the daily allowance that began at the server midnight covering that open. A 40-pip gap against 1.00 lot of gold is about $400. Against 1.45 lots it is about $580. Either figure is a real slice of a $4,000 Dual Step day, and it can arrive before you have a chance to edit the stop. The swing add-on makes the hold legal. It does not insure the gap.
Lightning adds the end-of-day trail. A funded weekend hold that gaps in your favor can raise the end-of-day peak and lift the 6% floor. The same hold that gaps against you spends the 3% day. Dual Step keeps the static 8% floor, so a gap only matters until it has walked either the 4% day or the original $8,000 maximum. Know which product is carrying the weekend inventory.
Without the swing add-on, Friday is a flatten
If the funded account does not have the swing add-on, the position should be closed before the weekend, with enough time for the fill to land. Equity Guard still belongs at $3,250 of daily loss on a $100,000 Dual Step book and at $2,250 on Lightning, including swap and gap in that cash count. A guard that ignores financing will think the day is fine while the balance already shows the debit.
Open a Venasri account and store whether this login is allowed to hold the weekend. Overnight permission is the default. Weekend permission is the add-on. Partial a large Friday float before 00:00 server time even when the add-on is present, so Sunday inherits a smaller position than the one that looked good on Friday afternoon.
