Yes. Forex, gold and US indices trade almost around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening, so evenings after work are open, and the 11 cryptocurrencies trade 24/7. At Axora Funded the 1-Step and Spark allow weekend trading and holding, and Spark has no time limit; the 2-Step evaluation closes for the weekend (Friday 20:45 to Sunday 22:00 UTC).

Which markets are open after work

If you finish work at 5 or 6 pm, the forex market is still open: the evening overlaps with the Asian session, which suits calmer range trading on pairs like USDJPY and AUDUSD. Gold and US index CFDs also trade most of the night. Cryptocurrencies never close, including Saturday and Sunday.

Market	When it trades	Good for part-time traders?
Forex majors	Sunday evening to Friday evening (UTC)	Yes: evening Asian session
Gold (XAUUSD)	Almost 24 hours, Monday to Friday	Yes, with smaller size
US indices	Almost 24 hours, Monday to Friday	Busiest at the US open
Crypto (11 pairs)	24/7, weekends included	Yes, on programmes that allow weekends

Which programmes allow weekend trading

The 2-Step and Ascent evaluations block trading and holding from Friday 20:45 to Sunday 22:00 UTC, crypto included. The 1-Step, Spark, Pass, Bolt and every funded account allow weekend trading. Spark also has no time limit, so you can trade only a few sessions a week without a deadline.

Weekend trading rules Prop firm for part-time traders

A routine that fits a full-time job

Pick one session you can trade every day, for example 19:00–21:00 local time, and stick to it.
Use pending orders with stop loss and take profit so you are not glued to the screen.
Remember the trading day resets at 00:00 UTC: the times below show when that is for you.
Choose a programme without a time limit so missed days never cost you the challenge.
