Review of One up trader

"Indeed, my funded account will be evaluated tomorrow and the chance of getting back above 50K is very very small."

Did you manage to bring it back? Yesterday was an excellent day to do so.

Is any of the funded traders here funded with a different funding partner then MES? Just curious.

Yes. MES is for the amateurs and once you make enough money you'll be funded by another group I believe's based in Dubai. They switched me 2 weeks ago with everything being the same except for a new username and password. You have a direct number with a broker in Chicago.

Supported platforms are on their website.
Once you pass the evaluation account you email OneUp, they send your results to the funding partner and they contact you. From them, you receive a questionnaire, just some basic questions. After the questionnaire you receive the funded trader contract, you read it, you sign it and then when you receive the account info you are ready to go. The process for me took 4 business days.

I wonder, what would be this questionnaire about. Your trading style? Personal financial questions? Psychological evaluation? Thank you
 
I'm with oneup since 2015, I never had a problem with them.

Most successful trader will say the same thing. The sucker (97% of traders) will say it's a scam.

I'll tell you from experience: the best traders and fund managers don't post on social media. The best traders don't waste time [the opportunity cost of research and time better spent managing actual positions] posting or reading non-sense, getting stuck in anonymous and circular online debates, etc. The best traders have proven their own value, proven the value of their trading system and statistical market advantage through a track record, and only pay attention to their systems' signals -- following the charts and their risk management, etc. They ignore the 95%+ of people who have no idea what they're talking about despite 'sounding' articulate/intelligent/wise and focus on themselves, the true 5% of the population whom systematically win.

In other words, you ideally want to talk to people on social media who post less, not more. You having over 1,000 posts is meaningless to me and certainly does not impress/project upon me experience, knowledge, insight, credibility, authority, etc. The only thing that impresses me is audited financial statements by a third party representative which show, undeniably, a statistical market advantage and history of profitability.

P.S. You may ask, then, why I post infrequently here. It seems like hypocrisy/paradox. Rather, it's because I joined OneUp on inception before any information was in the public domain. I basically became a funded trader as fast as one possibly could. Because I was the only 'veteran' of OneUp, I was the only one qualified from real-life experience to post about OneUp and found it my civil duty as a maven to do so. I began answering the questions that many people had but only a few knew the answer to, basically as a public service. Now that I've answered all of the concerns people have had, I only occasionally post when I 1) receive the email notification and 2) have some free time.

How is one up treating you since your last post in aug.2017. Thanks for your advice

This is my experience.
I got funded twice with big accounts (150k).

The first time my funded account was terminated for failing the scaling rule. It is very easy to make a mistake on this so watch out.

The second time I failed to be flat on a news release that I was supposed to. The problem here is that this news was considered Medium importance by economic news so it was filtered out from my daily scan, so be careful to understand what news calendar they use.

Have no doubt of this, They are not looking for profitable traders, my account was terminated while it was profitable without any warnings and on first strike because an honest mistake and it wont matter that the account was profitable and that I was consistently making money. I still have to see if I get paid my share of the profits in that account because I haven't received any contact yet.
If you think that you will be able to make money consistently and withdraw money in the long term you are mistaken, that's not their business, their business is to collect fees for evaluations and get rid asap of traders who can make money. The funded account trades dont show up in the bid/ask volumes, they are not even real they are in sim, so they are not profiting from traders that make consistently money period.

hope this helps, good luck.
