FTMO restricts holding positions through market breaks longer than 2 hours for all accounts, excluding the exceptions mentioned below. You must close all open positions before the break begins. Violating this rule may result in termination of an FTMO Account / FTMO Instant Account.
This restriction does not apply to:
- any Swing type accounts
- any accounts in the FTMO Challenge or Verification
With these accounts, you can hold your trades freely over any longer market closure (e.g. the weekend), provided that the Forbidden Trading Practices are avoided.
Trading hours depend on the specific instrument and may vary due to market conditions, holidays, or other events. Current trading hours are always available directly in the trading platform and on the Symbols page and Trading Updates page.
