Prop Firms That Allow Weekend Holding
This is the most permissive rule we track. Of the 40 CFD firms publishing a policy, 26 allow weekend holding outright, 13 attach conditions and none ban it. The conditions are usually commercial rather than risk-based: the firm sells weekend holding as a paid add-on, or limits it to swing accounts. MENT Funding closes positions on Friday afternoon unless you buy the add-on at checkout. Top One Trader requires the add-on on Instant Funding and Prime. Hola Prime allows it on Prime accounts. FundingPips allows it on Evaluation and Master accounts but not on Zero. If you swing trade, check whether the account you are about to buy includes it before you pay for the challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions
At most firms, yes. 26 of the 40 CFD firms publishing a policy allow it with no condition, 13 attach one, and none ban it outright.
Holding through the weekend exposes the firm to gap risk at Sunday's open, which it cannot hedge while markets are closed. Several firms price that risk as an optional extra rather than refusing it.
Markets can reopen at a materially different price from Friday's close. A stop loss does not protect you across a gap, so a weekend position can breach a daily loss limit before you are able to act.
Not always. Some firms publish them as separate rules and permit overnight positions while restricting weekend ones. Where a firm lists them together, the same verdict applies to both.
Rules change without notice and vary by account type. Confirm with the firm before you trade.
