Introduction
After sharing Cesar V.’s remarkable achievement of withdrawing $76,500 in 40 days, we had the opportunity to sit down with him again to understand how his trading has evolved. What we discovered was not just a story of successful trading but a profound insight into how he understands and approaches the markets through the perfection of trading psychology.
Let’s dive into the mind of this master trader…
The evolution of his approach
“Trading is not about guessing, feeling, or hoping,” Cesar said early in our conversation. “For me, trading is a mathematical business, and you have to have a mathematical mind.” This shows us just how much he has worked on his psychology and mindset.
Cesar continued to express the importance of having the correct mindset in trading and that it was the most important aspect that he improved over the past year. In fact, he changed nothing with regards to his strategy, he only worked on his psychology and mindset.
The two pillars of success: actionism and knowledge
Cesar has developed what he calls a dual-pillar approach to trading, which has helped him achieve an extraordinary 100% win rate in two separate periods – once generating $175K in 50 days, and another time making $75K in 42 days with OneUp Trader.
First pillar: ‘Actionism of price’
“You have to wait until price makes its moves,” Cesar explains. This concept of ‘actionism’ is a shift from predictive trading to reactive trading. Instead of trying to guess market direction, Cesar waits for the price to show its hand first. This patience has become a cornerstone of his strategy.
He reacts to what the market is doing. This requires a ton of patience as we know he has since he only ever places one trader per day.
Second pillar: Knowledge of movement
The deeper knowledge of market movement, as Cesar describes it, comes from understanding not just what to do, but how and when to do it. “I realized I only had 50% less of what I knew before these past 11 months,” he reflects. Something he goes into depth in our interview you can see below.
Technical Evolution
While Cesar maintains his core setup using Heikin Ashi candlesticks and the one-minute timeframe, he’s refined his approach with:
- A focused use of the 20-moving average for support and resistance
- Strategic implementation of the ADX indicator
- Enhanced application of the 2:1 risk-reward ratio tool, which he considers “the most difficult tool you can use”
The Mathematics of Win Rate
Perhaps the most fascinating revelation from our follow-up interview is Cesar’s mathematical approach to achieving a 100% win rate. His success isn’t based on complex indicators or magical formulas, but rather on:
- Waiting for price action (clear market movement)
- Applying deep knowledge of market mechanics
- Using precise ATM (Advanced Trade Management) strategies set to 2-3 points
“Sometimes I had maybe 34 seconds and I’m done, or at the most 1 minute,” Cesar said, when describing the open time of his trades.
Lessons for the Trading Community
There are many things we can learn from the new and improved approach Cesar has taken. Mainly, that trading mindset is the most important thing. Unfortunately, without it, success is impossible in financial markets and the quicker traders can learn this, the quicker they will see the clear road ahead.
These are the main points we can take from it:
- Success in trading is more about mathematics than prediction
- Win rates depend more on market approach than specific strategies
- Patience and observation trump aggressive action
- True market knowledge is an ongoing journey of discovery

Despite his previous successes, Cesar continues to refine and deepen his understanding of the markets. His journey from successful trader to market master shows that even at the highest levels of performance, there’s always room for growth and learning.
For traders at OneUp Trader and beyond, Cesar’s evolution presents a powerful lesson: true trading mastery isn’t just about finding a winning strategy – it’s about developing a deep, mathematical understanding of market movement and having the patience to act only when conditions are optimal.
