Can you hold trades over the weekend at a prop firm?

It depends on the product, not just on the firm. Of the 112 programmes read for this site, 13 publish an answer and 99 do not. At 1 firms the answer is different on different products: DNA Funded.

What happens if you hold over the weekend when it is not allowed?

On most it is a breach. On Funding Pips' Zero account it is published as something else entirely: "Holding any position over the weekend terminates the account." Funding Traders publish three different versions of when a position must be closed on Friday, on a rule that ends evaluations.

Which firms allow weekend holding?

Stated affirmatively by Breakout, Crypto Fund Trader, DNA Funded, Blue Guardian — on the specific programmes listed below, which is not the same as across their whole range.

Is “weekend holding allowed” the same as being able to trade at the weekend?

No, and one firm makes the distinction explicit. DNA Funded permit a position to be carried across the weekend while allowing only cryptocurrencies to be executed then — everything else may be held and not touched. Whether that is useful depends entirely on what you are holding.

13 programmes answer · 99 do not · 7 firms

99 of 112 programmes never say

Whether a position may be left open from Friday to Sunday night is answered by 13 of the 112 programmes here. The other 99 publish nothing either way, on a rule that can end an account on a Friday afternoon.

Where it is answered, the answer belongs to the product rather than to the firm. DNA Funded publish 2 different answers across their own range , and one firm draws the line inside a single sentence. On one programme it is not a breach to be judged at all — it is termination.

The account ends (1)

Not a breach to be judged and not a warning. The firm publishes it as termination.

Funding Pips · FundingPips Zero

Holding any position over the weekend terminates the account.

Not permitted (3)

Every one of these sits at a firm that permits it on a different product.

DNA Funded · Rapid (10 Days)

WEEKEND TRADING IS PROHIBITED here, unlike on the 1 Phase and 2 Phase: the Rules PDF lists "Rapid: Not allowed" and adds that weekend trading is strictly prohibited for this programme.

DNA Funded · Instant Funding

EXPERT ADVISORS ARE PROHIBITED on this programme alone; the 1 Phase, 2 Phase and Rapid all allow them. Weekend trading is prohibited too, and no Demo Reset add-on is offered.

Blueberry Funded · Flex 1-Step

Weekend holding is banned on this product alone: "Weekend holding is permitted on all account types except Flex 1-Step, across all phases including post-evaluation."

Permitted, but you cannot act (1)

A position may stay open across the weekend and cannot be touched, which is the half of the rule that decides whether it is any use.

DNA Funded · 1 Phase

Weekend holding is allowed on this programme, subject to the site-wide rule that only cryptocurrencies may be traded at the weekend — everything else may be held but not executed.

Permitted (5)

Stated affirmatively rather than left out, which is the difference between a permission and a silence.

Breakout · 1-Step Turbo

News trading and weekend holds are unrestricted: "There is no rule or restriction on news trading" and "We allow for holding positions over the weekend."

Breakout · 1-Step Classic

News trading and weekend holds are unrestricted, and the daily limit is measured from the day-open balance rather than the session high.

Crypto Fund Trader · 2 Phases Evaluation

News trading is allowed — "Yes. News trading is allowed" — as are overnight and weekend holds.

DNA Funded · 2 Phase

Weekend holding allowed, expert advisors allowed, minimum 60 seconds per trade.

Blue Guardian · Buy Now Pay Later

Minimum holding time of 2 minutes; a trade closed sooner may be flagged as tick scalping. News trading is allowed during the challenge and not on the funded account. Overnight and weekend holding, expert advisors and trade copiers between your own accounts are all allowed.

Published three different ways (3)

One firm, one rule that ends evaluations, and three versions of when a position must be closed on Friday.

Funding Traders · 2-Step Pro (PRO6)

THREE-WAY CONTRADICTION ON THE WEEKEND RULE, and this one fails accounts. The Terms of Service say "Not allowed. All trades must be closed by market close on Friday"; the General Guidelines say at least one hour before market close on Friday; a third surface differs again. A rule that ends an evaluation should not have three published versions.

Funding Traders · 2-Step Pro (PRO10)

The same three-way weekend contradiction and the same two published payout cadences as the rest of the range.

Funding Traders · 1-Step Pro

The same three-way weekend contradiction and two payout cadences as the rest of the range.

The firms that answer it both ways

Reading a firm’s weekend policy and applying it to the account you bought is the mistake this section exists to prevent. One firm publishes more than one answer across their own range, and one draws the line inside a single sentence.

DNA Funded — the rule on 1 Phase states the whole range: Weekend holding is allowed on this programme, subject to the site-wide rule that only cryptocurrencies may be traded at the weekend — everything else may be held but not executed.
Blueberry Funded — the rule on Flex 1-Step states the whole range: Weekend holding is banned on this product alone: "Weekend holding is permitted on all account types except Flex 1-Step, across all phases including post-evaluation."
DNA Funded — 1 Phase: yes, crypto only; 2 Phase: yes; Rapid (10 Days): no; Instant Funding: no

Why 99 programmes say nothing

Most of the field simply does not address it, and silence here is worse than a rule either way. A trader who assumes it is allowed and is wrong finds out on a Monday morning; one who assumes it is banned closes positions every Friday for no reason.

It also interacts with a rule this site records separately. Where the drawdown trails, or where the daily limit resets from the higher of balance and equity, carrying an open position through the weekend does not just risk a gap — it can move the floor you must stay above before Monday opens.

None of the failure probabilities on this site model any of it. They count a run of losing trades, and a gap over a weekend is not a trade.

What this does not measure

· What the silent 99 actually do. Absence here means absent from the rules read for this site. It is the question to ask before your first Friday, not an accusation.
· The gap itself. Whether holding is permitted and whether it is wise are different questions, and nothing on this page addresses the second.
· When Friday ends. One firm here publishes three answers to that, and it is recorded on the contradictions page rather than resolved on this one.
· One rule the sweep caught and this page excludes. about when the product goes on sale, not about what may be held over a weekend.
