Can I hold trades over the weekend on Alpha Capital Group Alpha Pro 8% and Alpha Swing ($100K)?
On the $100,000 CFD/FX accounts, Alpha Capital Group allows weekend holding on Alpha Pro 8% during both evaluation phases, but does not allow it on the funded Qualified Analyst account. Alpha Swing allows weekend holding at every stage. Overnight holding is allowed on both accounts; swaps apply.

Weekend holding by account
| Account | Weekend holding |
|---|---|
| Alpha Pro 8% ($100,000) | Allowed in both evaluation phases. Not allowed on the funded Qualified Analyst account: a soft breach. |
| Alpha Swing ($100,000) | Allowed at every stage. |
If your strategy needs positions to stay open from Friday into the following week, Alpha Swing's holding rule supports that at both stages. With Alpha Pro 8%, you need to change that holding pattern when you move to the funded account.
Weekend permission does not protect a position from a price gap when the market reopens. See why a stop loss does not make weekend holding predictable.
What happens if I hold over the weekend on funded Alpha Pro 8%?
The recorded rule calls this a soft breach. Profits from the affected trades are removed. The account stays active if the balance, after those profits are removed, is still above the maximum drawdown limit.
That consequence makes the stage distinction material: a weekend hold permitted during evaluation can cost you its profits after funding.
What is not established
Alpha Capital Group's overnight and weekend holding pages do not give a Friday closing cutoff or time zone. Before planning a late-Friday exit on the funded Alpha Pro 8% account, ask Alpha Capital Group's support when positions must be closed.
For the distinction between overnight permission and weekend cutoffs, see what 'overnight holding allowed' actually covers.
