Weekend Trading Rules for Instant Prime Funded
At Top One Trader, we aim to promote responsible trading and proper risk management. As part of this, we have specific rules around weekend trading that you need to be aware of. These rules are designed to protect your capital and maintain stability in the market.
Holding Trades Over the Weekend
Weekend holding depends on your account type. FLASH, NOVA and 2-Step Pro V2 accounts may hold trades over the weekend by default, with no add-on required.
Instant Funding and Instant Prime Funding accounts are not allowed to hold trades over the weekend without the Weekend Holding Add-On. This means that all trades must be closed by Friday 4:30 PM EST. Any open trades that are still active at this time will be automatically closed out.
If you've purchased the Weekend Holding Add-On, you are allowed to hold your trades over the weekend, and your trades will not be closed out by Friday 4:30 PM EST.
This policy minimizes the risk of gaps or unpredictable market movements that often occur over the weekend when markets are closed. By ensuring all trades are closed, we help you avoid unexpected losses when markets reopen on Monday.
Crypto Trading Over the Weekend
While traditional markets are closed over the weekend, cryptocurrency trading is an exception. You are allowed to trade cryptocurrencies during the weekend as long as these trades are opened after Friday 8 PM EST.
This gives traders the flexibility to take advantage of the 24/7 cryptocurrency market without breaching the weekend trading rule for other instruments.
