## Explained in full

- [Trading Hours Rules](https://getfundednow.com/rules/trading-hours) - The rule, explained - Trading hours follow the instrument and its liquidity, not a GFN schedule. Holidays move opens and closes, and the daily reset is set in the dashboard.
- [Overnight and Weekend](https://getfundednow.com/rules/overnight-and-weekend) - The rule, explained - Overnight and weekend holding is permitted on all three programmes where the account and the underlying market allow it. Gap risk stays with the trader.

## Related questions

- [Do trading hours change on public holidays?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/do-trading-hours-change-on-holidays) - Trading rules - They can. Major holidays can result in markets opening late, closing early or remaining closed.
- [What is leverage?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-is-leverage) - Trading rules - Leverage determines how much market exposure can be controlled relative to the simulated balance or margin available in your account.
- [Is leverage the same for every instrument?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/is-leverage-the-same-for-every-instrument) - Trading rules - No. Forex, metals, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies can have different leverage requirements.
- [Does higher leverage mean I can ignore the drawdown rules?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/does-higher-leverage-change-drawdown-rules) - Trading rules - No. Higher leverage gives you more market exposure; your Daily Loss Limit and Maximum Drawdown are unchanged. Bigger accelerator, same cliff.

- [What are the GFN trading hours?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-are-the-trading-hours) - Trading hours depend on the instrument and the liquidity available for that market.
