The default trade hours are the same as US indices, so under normal circumstances, holding positions during Monday to Friday sessions will be allowed on all account types. Therefore, all accounts can be held open Monday-Friday, but traders trading on non-Swing FTMO Accounts will have to close positions before the weekend. As always, make sure you keep an eye out for any announced holidays or maintenance windows.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>","secondary_content":"Overnight rollover\u00a0<strong>swaps<\/strong>\u00a0are subject to regular changes and adjustments, reflecting, among other things, interest rate differentials and dividend adjustments.
