From Kharkiv to Consistent Profits: How Serhii B. Turned Intraday Trading into a Revenue Stream
When Serhii B. first opened a chart, he wasn’t a trader. He was a self-driven 25-year-old freelancer in Kharkiv, Ukraine, motivated, curious, and searching for a skill that could offer financial independence in a difficult economic environment.
A friend told him about OneUp Trader. The idea of trading funded accounts instead of risking personal savings instantly clicked. That moment changed everything.
“My friend told me about OneUp, and I saw it as a way to trade multiple accounts and work from Ukraine. That was the spark,” –Serhii
$12,000 Withdrawn. Zero Experience Before.
Serhii passed his evaluations using discipline and a clear-cut strategy. He started with smaller withdrawals—$1,000 each from three different funded accounts. Then, just a week later, he withdrew $3,000 per account, bringing his total wired profits to $12,000 across the board.
His favorite markets? E-mini S&P 500, NASDAQ, various FX futures, gold, and even lean hogs. That is the first time one of our funded traders has made a withdrawal by trading lean hogs!
Serhii’s stats back up his performance. Out of 24 trades, 18 were winners, giving him a 75% win rate. His average winning trade was $363.47, while the average loser was – $428.14, with a solid profit factor of 2.61. He admits emotions can still get in the way. But Serhii’s discipline and daily prep work give him the edge.
“Discipline and strategy are my main strengths. I just stick to my plan.”—Serhii
75% Win Rate and a Profit Factor of 2.61
Serhii studies the charts just before the market opens, trades mostly during early morning hours (with most of his profits taken up between 7AM–9AM), and exits quickly.
The OneUp Trader Simple Withdrawal Process
To request a profit withdrawal, all you have to do is send an email to your funding provider with the amount you wish to withdraw. It will be processed within 24 hours as long as the withdrawal threshold has been met. It’s that straightforward!
Withdrawal requests are subject to a minimum transfer amount of $1,000 of the trader’s profit share. Withdrawals can be processed via Bank Wire or Cryptocurrency. You may request a withdrawal any time between Monday and Friday.
Withdrawals may post to your account within 1-3 business days (Refer to your banking institution for posting times).
Work-from-Anywhere Mindset
Serhii uses Ninjatrader, a platform that the OneUp Trader funded trader program provides for free. For him, OneUp Trader offered a unique opportunity: trade from Ukraine, access multiple funded accounts, and scale fast.
“NinjaTrader is an easy platform. I liked that I could focus on trading instead of dealing with complicated setup stuff.” –Serhii
He said his experience at OneUp Trader was straightforward, and he still recommends it to others looking to trade without risking their own capital.
OneUp Trader offers account sizes ranging from $25,000 to $250,000, providing traders with substantial buying power and the ability to trade up to 25 contracts immediately. For most people trading with their own money, reaching that level of buying power would take time and come with significant financial risk. But here, you can trade at that scale with zero personal risk. If $250K feels like too much, no problem — we also offer smaller accounts starting at just $25K, with a monthly subscription of only $65.
Looking Ahead
With over $3,900 in net profit and an average daily P/L of $496.70, Serhii’s is on the right track to continue succeeding at OneUp Trader. He’s still in his first year of trading, but he’s already treating it like a real business. The next goal? Keep scaling, keep learning, and keep pulling out consistent profits.
