19 Verified Firms Matching Backed by Official Terms Citations

Mathematical Definition & Calculation

Firms that prohibit weekend holding will forcibly liquidate your positions at market close on Friday (often widening spreads and causing unnecessary losses) or terminate your account.

Weekend Auto-Close = DISABLED. Margin requirements may increase on crypto or commodity pairs held across market breaks.

Hidden Trap / What to Watch For

Watch out for Sunday market open gap risk: if an unexpected geopolitical event causes the market to gap past your stop-loss, your equity can breach the maximum drawdown before your order fills.
