Introduction
At OneUp Trader, we take pride in helping traders who take the right approach and profit without having to risk their own money. Today, we’re highlighting an engineer by the name of Tayebi who recently withdrew $11,000 from his funded trading account! Incredible!
Let’s take a look at how he did it, how he trades, and why he chose the OneUp Trader funded trader program.
Mind of an Engineer That Moved into Markets
Tayebi, a 28-year-old engineer, made the move to trading just two years ago. Coming from a technical background, he had no prior experience in finance or business. However, his methodical mindset, problem-solving skills, and ability to analyze data quickly gave him an edge. He was able to take a logical and structured approach to the markets, which led to better control of his emotions and his psychology.
When asked why he chose to trade, his answer was simple:
“Moneeey.”
While some may assume that only those with a background in finance or ‘high-up education’ can succeed in the markets, his success challenges that. Despite having no prior professional trading experience, he developed a strategy, stuck to it, and turned his trading into a profitable venture.
Of course, money is a big motivator in trading, but that is like any other job that we do. What makes it different in markets is that the money is the scorecard we keep to see how well we are doing. If the primary focus is on the money itself, then the trader is doomed to fail because they are only thinking about the result when, instead, they should be focusing on the process.
Trading Style
He identifies his style as scalping, meaning he takes multiple short-term trades throughout the day to capitalize on small price movements. Scalping is extremely high risk, and we would not recommend it for the everyday person. But Tayebi clearly found a wake to make it work. The key is to remember that only through the correct mindset and disciplined approach is it possible for someone to succeed. Even the best strategy is doomed to failure if the person does not bring discipline, mental resilience, and a calm state with him.
Tayebi told us that one of his biggest strengths is that he doesn’t panic. This is something crucial that can only be developed by focusing on trading psychology. We teach how to do that in our trading course, along with in-depth technical analysis, strategy development, and exercises to strengthen our mindset.
His chosen markets include:
E-mini NASDAQ 100 (NQ) – A fast-moving, high-liquidity market ideal for scalpers.
Gold (GC) – A volatile commodity that offers strong trading opportunities.
Micro Gold (MGC) – A smaller contract version of Gold.
Tayebi also trades on the Rithmic Trader Pro platform.
Statistics
Let’s take a deeper look at his trading performance:
What These Numbers Tell Us
A high number of winning trades (188 out of 267) shows consistency. This is exactly what we would expect from a scalping strategy, that is, to have at least a 50% win rate or higher.
A profit factor of 1.25 means his total profits exceeded his total losses. While his largest loss was greater than his largest gain, his ability to manage risk and secure multiple smaller wins kept his overall account profitable.
His average winning trade was $320.91, while his average losing trade was -$623.86. This means that although his losses were larger than his individual wins, his high trade frequency and consistency allowed him to recover and stay profitable over time.
A max winning streak of 14 trades vs. a max losing streak of 6 indicates strong risk management. The fact that his wins outnumbered his losses consistently is a key trait of long-term successful traders.
Why OneUp Trader?
When asked why Tayebi chose OneUp Trader, he stated how trusting the funded trader program is. At OneUp Trader, we believe the trader should be rewarded correctly for his effort. That is why we put absolutely zero restrictions on withdrawals and try to make traders’ lives easier.
We are looking forward to seeing what Tayebi will make as his next withdrawal and how else he modifies his trading style to continue improving!
