Tailored for someone looking to hold positions longer through multiple sessions. The Diamond Hands account tracks how well you manage risk on positions held overnight or longer. You only fail if you breach either the end-of-day trailing drawdown or the overall max drawdown, whichever comes first, giving your winners room to run while keeping total risk contained.

What is the Diamond Hands plan?
Diamond Hands is the only ETF evaluation that permits holding open futures positions across the overnight session and the weekend. Every other evaluation (1 Step, Static, EOD, Fast Track) requires you to flatten one minute before the instrument close on every trading day.
The only ETF evaluation that holds open positions across the overnight session and the weekend. No flatten-before-close on any trading day.
The floor only moves at session close, on realized P&L. While you hold an overnight position the floor does not chase you; when you close, the realized P&L updates it as normal.
The plan is built for traders whose edge needs more than one session. If your strategy is multi-day or you want to ride a scheduled release through to settlement, this is the plan. If you are an intraday-only trader, the regular End of Day plan is cheaper and tighter.
Diamond Hands vs standard End of Day
The two plans share the same end-of-day trailing drawdown mechanic. The two things that differ are when you have to flatten and the daily loss limit.
| Rule | Diamond Hands (this plan) | End of Day (standard) |
|---|---|---|
| Hold positions overnight? | Yes. Positions can stay open across the overnight session. | No. All positions must be flat one minute before instrument close. |
| Hold positions through the weekend? | Yes. Positions can stay open across the weekend. | No. Weekend holds not permitted. |
| Drawdown style | End-of-day trailing. Floor only updates after positions are closed. | End-of-day trailing, an identical mechanic. |
| Daily loss limit | Yes. $1,500 hard breach. | Yes. Varies by size ($1,100 at 50K, $2,200 at 100K). |
| Best for which trader? | Swing-style traders who want to hold winners through the close or across the weekend. | Intraday traders who scale into winners and want to flatten by close. |
Diamond Hands trades a tighter position cap for the right to hold positions overnight. Whether that is a fair trade depends entirely on whether your strategy actually needs the multi-day hold.

How the Diamond Hands plan works
The rules below describe how an overnight-permitted plan behaves in practice. The drawdown mechanic is standard EOD trailing. The difference is that flatten-before-close does not apply.
Hold positions overnight
Diamond Hands is the only ETF evaluation that permits open positions across the overnight session. You do not need to flatten before close.
Gap risk on the next session open is yours.
Hold positions through the weekend
Open positions can also stay live across the weekend. Plan accordingly, because gap risk is yours.
Weekend gaps are assessed at Monday open.
End-of-day trailing drawdown
The maximum allowed loss trails your highest end-of-day realized balance. Open profit never moves the floor up. Only a higher closed balance at session close does. Open losses still count: an intraday dip that touches the floor or the daily loss limit fails the account, even on a position held overnight.
Open losses can still breach the floor intraday.
Hard-breach daily loss limit
A $1,500 per-day loss cap measured from the prior day’s close. Open losses count intraday: touch it on an open or closed position and the account is failed immediately, even if your trailing drawdown is fine. The TradeShield add-on converts this hard breach into a soft breach, so touching the daily loss limit does not instantly fail you and you can trade out of it the next session.
Add TradeShield to soften this hard breach into a recoverable one.
5 trading day minimum
Pass the evaluation after a minimum of 5 trading days plus reaching the $5,000 profit target. The One Day to Pass add-on can lift the 5-day requirement.
One Day to Pass add-on can lift the 5-day rule.
Resets at $47
If you breach the drawdown or daily loss limit, reset from your dashboard for $47 instead of buying a brand-new account. Unlimited resets allowed during the evaluation.
Unlimited resets during the evaluation.
Position cap: 2 minis / 20 micros
The position cap is tighter than the same-balance EOD plan to reflect the overnight risk. 1 mini equals 10 micros for position math.
Tighter than the same-balance EOD plan.
Safety net for payouts
Earn realized profits equal to your max drawdown + $100, and the drawdown is permanently removed for payout eligibility.
Drawdown is removed once the safety net is met.
Full rules (including payout cycles, Active Trade Days, position limits, hedging restrictions, and LIVE ELITE transition criteria) are documented in the Diamond Hands Plan help article.
Worked example: holding a position through the weekend
Your starting balance is $100,000, your EOD trailing drawdown is $3,500, your daily loss limit is $1,500, and your profit target is $5,000.
End-of-day trailing floor.
Hard breach, counts open losses intraday.
- Friday afternoon you are long 2 minis and the position is +$800 unrealized. You decide to hold it through the weekend instead of flattening. The floor stays at the end-of-day high-water mark from Thursday's close. Open P&L does not move it.
- Monday opens with a gap in your direction. You close out at +$1,800 realized. Your daily realized P&L for Monday is now +$1,800, well clear of the daily loss limit.
- Monday's session close updates the trailing floor based on your new realized balance high.
- If Monday had opened with a gap against you, the open position would have failed the account the moment its unrealized loss touched the −$1,500 daily loss limit, at or just after the gap open, before you ever closed.
The lesson is simple: holding overnight on Diamond Hands removes the flatten-before-close rule, but it does not remove the daily loss limit, and that limit counts open losses intraday. An adverse overnight gap can fail the account at the next session open, before you have a chance to close.
Is Diamond Hands right for you?
Choose Diamond Hands if your trading edge actually needs multi-session holds: swing setups, overnight gaps, scheduled releases, or strategies that work through Asia / London sessions. For intraday-only strategies, the standard EOD plan is cheaper and comes with a larger position cap.
If you want to flatten by close but keep the EOD drawdown mechanic, see the End of Day plan. If you want a drawdown that does not move at all, see the static drawdown plan.
