Can I hold positions overnight and trade over the weekend?
Updated over a month ago

Yes, users are allowed to hold simulated trades overnight on all evaluations including E8 Trader accounts, however as a user, you should be aware of bad market conditions that may occur during a market rollover.

Users are also welcome to hold simulated trades over the weekends on all evaluations including E8 Trader accounts. Because our simulated platform tracks real market conditions, please be aware that there are risks associated with market gaps when trading pairs that do not stay open during the weekend trading hours like Forex pairs, Indices and Commodities. As a risk manager, it is your job to determine the risks and rewards of holding a position overnight, as we do not want to limit a user’s strategy. However, if a gap, slippage, or wide spread causes a violation, it is the user’s responsibility.

All users are responsible for knowing the trading hours on each instrument for themselves:
