An overnight limit is a trading restriction that sets the maximum amount of a specific security that a trader is allowed to hold in their account overnight. This limit is typically set by the trader’s broker, and the amount can vary depending on the trader’s account size and tier, trading experience, and the security being traded, such as specific stocks, commodities, or currency pairs.
The purpose of setting overnight limits is to help traders manage risk. When traders hold too much of a single security for an extended period, they may incur substantial losses if the market suddenly moves against their position overnight. By setting an overnight limit on traders’ accounts, brokers can help them minimise risk and protect them against potential losses.
Traders may encounter overnight limits set by their brokers when trading derivatives such as futures and options. This is because traders tend to hold positions for a long time in futures and options trading. In this case, the broker can limit the number of contracts a trader can hold to manage their risk. If the trader exceeds this limit, they may be subject to additional fees, or their positions may be closed out by their broker.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
