Which products actually qualify
Of 17 firms with current product data, 5 allow weekend holding on every captured product; 3 have at least one outright qualifying product and at least one product with a different or unpublished verdict. Across 85 captured products, 40 qualify, 12 are conditional, 17 do not qualify, 16 have no published answer we could verify.
Firms sell several challenge products and their rules diverge between them. Every verdict below is read from that product's own captured terms, not from a single firm-wide setting.
Qualifies on some products only — check before you buy
No outright qualifier; some products are conditional
Conditional is not the same as unrestricted. Each card shows the exact mix because another product at the same firm may block the feature or leave it unpublished.
These firms say nothing about weekend holdingon their own public pages. We leave them unrated rather than infer a rule from a competitor's summary — an absent rule is not the same as a permissive one.
Product terms last captured Oct 14, 2026. Products older than 30 days are dropped until recaptured, so a missing product means stale data rather than a discontinued plan. Every source is linked beside its product; use the challenge comparison to compare price, risk and payout terms.
Ranked qualifying firms
Full product coverage ranks before partial coverage; editorial score decides the order within each coverage group.
The factors below are what we weight when ranking firms on this list.
Weekend gaps are real risk
Markets gap on Sunday open in response to news that broke after Friday close. Many firms restrict weekend holding to limit this exposure.
Futures firms usually ban it
CME futures sessions span the week, but most futures prop firms force-flat at session end. This page focuses on forex and CFD firms that don't.
Different rule for crypto
Crypto pairs run 24/7 — weekend holding is often allowed even at firms that restrict forex pairs. Check per-asset rules.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some prop firms ban weekend holding?
Sunday gaps can blow through stop-losses and exceed daily drawdown limits without giving the trader (or firm) a chance to react. Banning weekend positions is a risk-control measure, not a punishment.
Does "weekend holding allowed" mean all assets?
Not always. Some firms allow weekend holding on crypto (24/7 markets) but force-close forex and CFD positions on Friday. Confirm per-asset.
Are weekend gaps factored into max drawdown?
Yes. Even if weekend holding is allowed, a gap that triggers your max drawdown ends the account — your stop-loss won't fire over the weekend. Position-size accordingly.
