Introduction
Meet Sali, a 31-year-old consultant from Florida who has built a steady side income through the OneUp Trader funded trader program. Since joining OneUp Trader, Sali has made five separate withdrawals totaling $16,900, all while balancing a professional career with trading. Using a simple yet effective price action strategy, Sali shows how consistency and discipline can pay off—even without complicated setups or hours of daily prep. With two years of trading experience, Sali has focused exclusively on the $50,000 evaluation account. Let’s learn more about this trader and see what made these withdrawals possible.
Finding OneUp Trader
Sali first heard about OneUp Trader through a family member and chose the platform for the same reason they did: to earn side income. The appeal was immediate: simplicity and fairness. Unlike many prop firms that overcomplicate the process, OneUp Trader offered an easy setup, transparent rules, and a smooth path to funding.
When asked to describe the experience, Sali summed it up in one word: “Good.” The platform was easy to navigate, and the setup process was clear from the start. That’s something we prioritize; our step-by-step connection guides and 24/7 support via live chat, phone, or email are designed to make the experience as smooth as possible.
A Unique Trading Style
When asked about her daily preparation, the response was simple: “I don’t.” This ‘out of the ordinary’ approach contrasts with many traders who spend hours analyzing charts before the market opens. Instead, Sali relies on reading price action and identifying pullback opportunities in real time. It’s a minimalist approach that removes noise and focuses only on price behavior and nothing more.
This strategy led to five payouts in 2025: $4,800, $4,100, $3,000, $3,000, and $2,000. Proof that sometimes, simplicity wins.
Performance Across Multiple Accounts
Here’s a closer look at the numbers from two of Sali’s funded accounts:
Account #1 Statistics:
- Total profit: $3,156.75
- Win rate: 75% (21 wins out of 28 trades)
- Profit factor: 18.79
- Average risk-reward ratio: 5.31
- Average winning trade: $160.38
- Average losing trade: -$30.18
- Average hold time (winners): 26 minutes 57 seconds
- Average hold time (losers): 1 minute 15 seconds
Account #2 Statistics:
- Total profit: $3,049.75
- Win rate: 63.64% (14 wins out of 22 trades)
- Profit factor: 81.17
- Average risk-reward ratio: 32.99
- Average winning trade: $221.68
- Average losing trade: -$6.72
- Average hold time (winners): 4 minutes 39 seconds
- Average hold time (losers): 52 seconds
One of the most impressive stats in Sali’s trading history is the risk-reward ratio, reaching as high as 32.99 on one funded account. The win rates are equally strong: 63.64% on one and 75% on another. These numbers reflect a trader who knows how to capitalize when the market aligns with their price action and pullback strategy.
Sali has managed multiple funded accounts, proof that setbacks and drawdowns happen, but resilience is key. When an account hits a drawdown, Sali simply goes back to evaluation and starts again.
That’s the power of a funded trader program like OneUp Trader: traders can qualify, get funded, make withdrawals, and if things don’t work out, there’s always another chance. With no limits on how many times you can earn funding or make withdrawals, the opportunities are endless.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Sali admits that choppy, sideways markets are the toughest to trade. Pullback strategies work best in trending conditions, where price retracements provide clean entries. In range-bound markets, false signals can stack up quickly.
Recognizing this, Sali focuses on staying disciplined, avoiding overtrading during uncertain conditions, and waiting for clean setups that align with the strategy. It’s a reminder that knowing when not to trade is just as important as knowing when to execute.
Conclusion
With $16,900 withdrawn to date, Sali has successfully built a steady side income using a price action strategy, a calm, disciplined approach, and the support of the OneUp Trader funded trader program. This trader’s journey highlights something very important: there’s no single path to success. Every trader has their own system, their own mindset, and that’s exactly what makes stories like Sali’s so powerful.
By striking a balance between a full-time career and active trading, Sali proves that consistency and flexibility can coexist. And with OneUp Trader, that opportunity is open to everyone.
