Overnight and weekend positions
All positions must be closed before the session closes at 16:00 Chicago time, and before the market closes on Friday.
- First time: if you forget to close a position overnight once, nothing happens. We will remind you of the rule.
- If it happens again, overnight or over a weekend, your account will be closed.
Maximum contracts per account
| Account size | Standard contracts | Micro contracts |
|---|---|---|
| 10K | 1 | 10 |
| 15K | 2 | 20 |
| 25K | 3 | 30 |
| 50K | 5 | 50 |
| 100K | 10 | 100 |
| 150K | 15 | 150 |
Breaking these rules may lead to the closure of your account and the cancellation of any pending payouts.
