Yes, you can hold positions overnight—and many of our most successful traders run multi-day strategies.
However, it’s critical to manage your risk properly:
Gap Risk Responsibility: You are fully responsible for any overnight gap risk. When holding positions overnight, make sure you size down appropriately to account for potential adverse market moves.
24/7 Position Limits: Position limits are enforced around the clock. Even if you hold positions overnight, those limits still apply.
Risk Management: Professional risk management isn’t optional—it’s expected. Adjust your strategy and position sizes to protect against unexpected gaps.
Weekend Holds: For futures that trade with a Sunday open, weekend holds are permitted, but the same risk management principles apply.
In short, while overnight positions are allowed, always account for gap risk by sizing your positions appropriately and adhering to professional risk management practices.
