Holding Trades Over Weekends

Just wondering how many of the Day and Swing traders hold positions over the weekend, or do you close a trade Friday at market close and open it again on Sunday at market open?. Just been looking back at some of the weekend price gaps, wouldn't like to be on the the wrong side of some of them, but if you close and reopen a trade then you have to pay more commissions and loose a few pips on spread, or risk the alternative of a large gap.

What do you guys do? leave em open, close and reopen em, or just don't trade Fridays?

I hold positions over the week when i trade daily trade when i trade tehniques on smaler TF i dont hold over week.All is about MM,i can hold becouse i trade strcict risk 1-3 % per trade.


Cheers

There are no gaps. If you see one then your broker doesn't open at market open.

yes i know that, but my broker, like most others, aren't open for trading on the weekends

Hmm ok. For me this isn't a problem. I trade long term but have no gaps plus I can open/close and change trades at the weekend.

Yeah, That's ideal.
