Which futures prop firms allow overnight holding?

My Funded Futures on the Expert plan, and selected static-drawdown plans at Elite Trader Funding and Lucid Trading. Topstep, Apex, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, Alpha Futures and Funding Ticks are intraday only.

Do forex prop firms allow overnight positions?

Nearly all of them, with no add-on required. The weekend is the restricted period at forex firms, not the overnight session.

Does overnight holding affect trailing drawdown?

Yes, materially. On an intraday trailing account the drawdown keeps updating overnight while you cannot react, which is precisely why most futures firms prohibit it.

Are swap fees counted against my profit target?

At most firms, yes — swap is deducted from account equity like any other cost, so it counts toward both your target and your drawdown.

Rules re-checked July 20, 2026 · 13 of 22 firms qualify

Overnight holding is standard at forex firms and rare at futures firms — and where a futures firm does allow it, the permission is usually attached to a specific plan rather than the whole account range.

Why the futures answer is almost always no

Futures prop accounts run a trailing drawdown that updates against unrealised profit. Holding through the close means the account is exposed to the overnight session, where a single macro headline can move ES or NQ enough to breach the drawdown before the trader is awake.

The firm's exposure is real even on a simulated account, because they hedge aggregate flow. So the rule is a risk rule, not a gimmick, and firms enforce it with automatic liquidation rather than with a warning.

The plans that do allow it

My Funded Futures' Expert plan permits overnight holding, and several of Elite Trader Funding's static-drawdown plans do the same. Both cost more per account than the intraday equivalents, which is the trade you are making: overnight margin in exchange for a higher fee and usually a tighter drawdown.

If overnight futures exposure is central to your strategy, check the specific plan document before buying — a firm-level 'yes' on any comparison table, including ours, is not a substitute for the plan sheet.

Forex overnight costs

At forex firms overnight holding is free of rules but not free of cost. Swap is charged nightly, tripled on Wednesday, and on some pairs it exceeds the daily range of the instrument. A carry-negative position held for two weeks can turn a winning trade into a losing one on the statement the firm pays from.

Check whether your account is swap-free before assuming carry is a non-issue, and check whether the firm counts swap toward your drawdown. Most do.

How we classify this rule

·'Yes' = positions may be held through the session close on the standard account.
·'Limited' = permitted on specific plans only; the per-firm note names them.
·'No' = automatic liquidation at the daily close.
