• Swing traders need: no daily loss limit, weekend hold allowed, longer timeframes
  • Top three: City Traders Imperium (no daily loss), The5%ers High-Stakes, BluFX
  • Note: The5%ers discontinued its Instant Funding product in 2026; its swing case now rests on High-Stakes’ static max loss
  • Most challenge-based firms have daily loss limits — read the rules carefully

Swing trading collides with the standard prop firm rulebook in one specific place: the daily loss limit. A position held overnight can gap through the limit while you sleep, voiding the account before you wake up. The firms below are the ones that have either removed the daily loss limit or relaxed it enough to make multi-day holds practical. In practice, this is a smaller list than the firm-shortlist articles suggest, and the trade-offs (lower profit splits, monthly subscriptions) are real.

Top picks

City Traders Imperium

  • The Long-Term Trader plan has no daily loss limit
  • Weekend hold allowed
  • Flexible news-trading rules

The5%ers High-Stakes

  • 2-step evaluation (8–10% then 5% targets by variant), no time limit
  • A 5% daily loss limit does apply — the swing-friendly part is the static 10% max loss, which never trails up
  • Well-suited for swing-style entries if you size positions for the daily limit

BluFX

  • Monthly subscription model
  • No daily loss limit on some plans
  • Lower base profit split (50%)

Why the daily loss limit matters for swing

Swing traders hold positions overnight, and markets gap. By contrast, a day trader closes flat and can choose to skip a session entirely. A swing trader cannot — once the position is open, the daily loss limit applies to whatever happens overnight, including events scheduled for the next trading day.

  • Static-drawdown veteran: The5%ers (coupon “HZZS4”) — note: on 2026-08-01 this site re-rated The5%ers from High to Low trust (★4.6→3.3) after the firm itself acknowledged payout delays in March 2026; if you use it, keep the ticket small
  • Industry standard alternative: FTMO — the 5% daily loss is manageable for medium-swing positions
