Funded Futures Family Overnight and Weekend Holding Rules

Quick answer

Funded Futures Family allows trading overnight within an active futures session, but positions cannot stay open through the daily market close or the weekend. Its published overnight FAQ states a 4:15 PM EST flat time and 6:00 PM EST reopening. Those source labels should be matched to the current account's session clock.

Coupon code: COMPARE. PFA lists 80% off Velocity, 40% on Premier for the first five uses then 30%, and 30% on Prime. View the Funded Futures Family offer.

Overnight permission has a session boundary

The official overnight FAQ permits positions into the evening session but requires them to be flat at the daily close.

Crossing calendar midnight and crossing a session close are different events. An overnight permission should not be read as unrestricted holding across every market break.

Match the platform clock before converting time

The source uses the label EST. A reader should record the actual session clock used by the selected account before converting it into another time zone.

A fixed local alarm can be misleading if it was created from a different clock setting or a seasonal offset. Save the original published reference together with the platform's current displayed schedule.

For a session illustration, an evening entry can remain open into the following morning while the session is active. The next daily cutoff still requires the account to be flat. A Friday position must not be treated as permission to carry exposure into the next weekly opening.

Holiday and instrument schedules also belong in the pre-session review. A normal weekday timetable does not prove that the same trading window applies to a shortened holiday session.

Confirm the executed close

The FAQ describes automatic liquidation at its cutoff and says that automatic closure is not a rule violation. It does not establish that the automatic fill will match a trader's preferred price.

A useful closing record contains the open quantity, intended exit, confirmed executions and any remaining working orders. Once the position is closed, reconcile the history and actual account balance.

Do not treat a sent close instruction as proof of execution. If a connection interrupts the screen update, inspect the account's recorded state before submitting another instruction.

Working entries also deserve attention around a session boundary. Confirm their status on the selected platform so that the next opening does not produce an exposure the trader forgot was pending.

Trading hours and risk limits remain separate

A position can comply with the session schedule and still reach the account's drawdown. Conversely, closing before the cutoff does not reverse a limit event that happened earlier.

The official rule reference distinguishes plan-specific drawdown. Record the chosen plan as part of the session worksheet rather than using a single generic FFF loss floor.

Use the Funded Futures Family review for those broader plan differences.

Initial Velocity fees after COMPARE

The official Velocity page publishes these base monthly prices. Applying the PFA-listed 80% rate to an initial payment gives:
