Verdict: the weekend count means exactly what it says: a trade remained open across a Saturday or Sunday. Lizard recorded 0 such trades, so its measurement contains no weekend exposure.
| Audit | All trades | Held overnight | Spanned a weekend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lizard | 21,524 | 0 | 0 |
| Gold Atlas | 10,999 | 2,188 | 640 |
An overnight position closes on a later calendar date than it opened. A weekend position is narrower: the time between entry and exit includes Saturday or Sunday.
That makes every weekend position an overnight position, but not every overnight position a weekend position. A trade opened on Monday and closed on Tuesday belongs only to the first count.
Lizard gives the cleanest answer because both fields are zero. None of its measured trades remained open into another calendar day, so none could have crossed a weekend.
Gold Atlas shows why the two fields belong together. Its audit records 2,188 overnight trades and 640 that crossed a weekend. The larger number describes all next-day holds; the smaller one isolates the part exposed to a weekend boundary.
The field counts trades, not the money at risk. A small position and a large position each add one, and a trade held across one weekend is counted the same way as a trade held across several.
It also does not say whether holding was intentional or permitted on your account. Use it as a screening fact: if weekend holding is restricted for you, a positive count deserves attention before the profit line does.
Open the Lizard audit or the Gold Atlas audit to read the weekend count beside the full risk record.
