Prop Firms That Allow Weekend Holding
Many futures and forex prop firms force a flat-by-Friday rule on funded accounts to avoid weekend gap risk. The firms below explicitly allow weekend holding, either on the default account or via a Swing add-on product.
Weekend holding sounds like a minor technicality and is actually a major strategy gate. A swing trader who holds 3-to-5-day positions through Friday cannot use a firm with a flat-by-Friday rule without rebuilding the entire strategy. The Swing add-on on firms that offer it may cost more than the standard evaluation and can lift the flat-by-Friday rule and any news trading restriction at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Swing add-on?
A product variant that may permit weekend holding and relax news restrictions in exchange for a higher evaluation fee. Check availability and conditions on the firm page.
Do futures firms allow weekend holding?
Almost none. CME instruments close Friday afternoon and reopen Sunday evening, and the gap risk during that window is too high for most prop firms to underwrite on funded accounts.
Is weekend holding ever automatically liquidated?
On firms that prohibit it, yes, any position open at the Friday cutoff is force-flattened by the broker. Some firms also penalise the violation with a soft rule warning that converts to account termination on repeat.
