Overnight & Weekend Holding
Rules for holding positions through market close.
You are allowed to hold positions overnight and through weekends on SPIKE. However, there are important considerations.
Overnight Fees
Positions held past 00:00 UTC incur an overnight fee (swap/funding rate). The fee varies by instrument and direction (long/short). Crypto positions have a flat funding rate, while forex uses traditional swap rates.
Weekend Holding
Gap Risk
Markets can gap significantly at the open on Monday. Stop-loss orders may execute at a worse price than expected due to gapping. Factor this into your risk management when holding weekend positions.
