Why this matters
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.
