Weekend & Overnight Holding

Supertrade accounts may allow holding trades overnight or through weekends depending on the plan. While this gives traders flexibility, it also increases exposure to funding costs and market gaps.

Account Rules

  • 2-Phase Challenge: Overnight and weekend holding is permitted. Traders should still respect daily and max drawdown rules.

  • Instant Funding: Overnight and weekend holding is also allowed, but positions remain subject to stricter daily risk limits (5% daily, 10% overall).

Risks to Consider

  • Overnight Swaps: Positions held past market close may incur swap/rollover fees. These vary by instrument and direction of trade.

  • Weekend Gaps: Market re-opens after the weekend with potential price gaps. This can trigger stop-loss orders at worse prices or breach account drawdown limits instantly.

  • Volatility: News events released outside trading hours (e.g., central bank statements, geopolitical events) can heavily affect opening prices.

Both Challenge and Instant Funding models allow weekend and overnight holding. However, it is the trader’s responsibility to manage funding costs and gap risks. Always size positions accordingly.
