👀 FundingPips launches ambitious new scaling model

Hi everyone, another week in upon us and the markets are open, so let’s get into it.

FundingPips has launched a new “Prime” progression model designed to bridge the gap between prop trading and longer term capital management.

The core concept is that after a trader’s third payout, the fourth payout is partially converted into increased account allocation using a multiplier system. Depending on the account type, a $10k payout could scale into roughly $100k to $200k in Prime capital, alongside progression toward external investor capital and fund management opportunities similar to DarwinexZero.

Here’s a great thread with all the details:

This just dropped this morning, so I haven’t had time to fully digest it yet, but it looks very cool.

🕜 Red Folder News

Here are this week’s red folder news events. Very quiet on the calendar this week, FOMC minutes being the only notable event. Now Trump is back from China, I’d expect some movement on the Iran situation soon.

📈 Markets

Friday Meltdown....sort of

What an end to the week. Starting in the EU session and continuing during the US, markets sold off hard, and it felt like a bloodbath. Zoom out however, and it barely registered on the chart.

Nasdaq Fib Levels

It’s a very long way to even the first major Fibonacci level, and the way the market has been trading recently it feels inconceivable that we could ever get there. Statistically speaking though, the equity markets are highly mean reverting, so it’s likely we’ll retrace at least half of this rally at some point.

A few things to keep in mind

Whilst markets are hitting all time highs, Consumer sentiment is hitting all time lows. Whilst this has not correlated to stock market returns in recent years, this disconnection has rarely ended well in the past, as typically we get these readings in recessions.

Market breadth historically low as well

Market breadth (the number of stocks advancing vs declining) is also reaching historic lows. Meaning the rally is concentrated in a few names, with a very high risk of rapid reversal if this does turn around.

How much higher can this realistically go?

Semiconductors have been parabolic all year, and the RSI is hitting overbought levels last seen at the height of the 2000 tech bubble. This could of course continue to run much higher, but I do get the feeling we might be on borrowed time…

OK you’re all caught up, it’s gonna be another big week, so stay risk managed and have a good one!
