Can I hold trades overnight or over the weekend?
Traders are allowed to hold positions overnight and over the weekend, but it is important to manage risk carefully. Holding positions during these times exposes trades to potential market gaps or news events that can cause significant price fluctuations, increasing risk. Traders should evaluate the risks before holding trades and ensure that margin and floating P/L for each trade remain within controllable limits.
Using proper risk management tools, such as Stop Loss (SL) orders, can help mitigate the risks associated with overnight or weekend positions and ensure trading activity remains compliant with AIFO account rules.
