The Death of the Timer: Best 'No Time Limit' Prop Firms for Swing Traders (2026)

You are reading Lesson 6 of the prop-trading course.

1. Patience Pays

With no timer, you can wait for the weekly or daily timeframe to align.

  • Strategy: Risk 0.5% per trade. Aim for a 1:3 Risk/Reward.
  • Math: You only need 4 winning trades (net) to pass a 6% Phase 1. Whether that takes 2 weeks or 2 months doesn't matter.

2. Avoid the 'Weekend Gap' Trap

Swing traders hold over the weekend. However, some firms still ban weekend holding.

  • Rule Check: Ensure your 'No Time Limit' firm also allows 'Weekend Holding'. Otherwise, you will be forced to close positions on Friday, ruining your swing strategy.

3. The 'Inactive' Rule

'No Time Limit' doesn't mean you can disappear. Most firms require at least one trade every 30 days to keep the account active. Don't forget to place a micro-lot trade if you are taking a break.

Recommendation: Funding Pips

Funding Pips has revolutionized this space with affordable, no-time-limit accounts that allow weekend holding and news trading. They are the ideal sandbox for swing traders who want to compound slowly and safely.
