Introduction
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a 30-year-old banker named Chee has quietly pulled off what many overcomplicate: consistent profits using the simplest of strategies. Since joining OneUp Trader, Chee has withdrawn a total of $19,500 across multiple funded accounts, and most recently, $14,500 in a single account within just 9 trading days using nothing more than simple support and resistance levels on the E-mini S&P 500.
He told us that he trades because he wants additional income. That practical mindset, which treats trading as a side hustle instead of a get-rich-quick scheme, most certainly leads to better decision-making and more sustainable results.
With three years of trading experience and a background in banking, he brings financial discipline and risk awareness that many traders have to learn on their own. Chee’s approach shows us that consistency in basic strategies can outperform complex systems that sound impressive but fail in practice.
Trading Performance Analysis
The most interesting point about Chee’s strategy is that his average risk-to-reward ratio is only 0.24. Basically, he gains $184 on a win, and his average losses are $762.
Most traders would think this is an ineffective strategy, but Chee has managed to stay consistently profitable thanks to a high win rate and precise execution. This is where the OneUp Trader model shines. It rewards practical, consistent traders, even if they don’t follow textbook strategies. Chee isn’t trying to be perfect. He’s simply playing to his strengths and taking advantage of the path to funding that OneUp provides. That mindset has allowed him to withdraw over $19,500 across multiple accounts.
Simple Strategy, Disciplined Execution
“I trade support and resistance,” he explains without trying to overcomplicate things.
His daily preparation is simple: “Spend 30 minutes before market open at 9:30 ET by drawing support and resistance levels.”
Just 30 minutes of preparation, no scanning dozens of indicators, no stressing about the day. He identifies his levels, waits for price to reach them, and executes without emotions getting in the way.
Support and resistance is one of the most popular ways to trade because of its simplicity and reliability. Chee likes to know what he is looking for, and he sticks to that because he is in control. There is no need to overcomplicate things or become too mental about them because that often doesn’t lead anywhere.
Banking Background Advantage
Since Chee works in the banking industry, there are a few things that he has an advantage in:
Risk Management: “The ability to know where to set my stop loss when the trade goes wrong,” he identifies as his main strength. This risk management experience has served him well at OneUp Trader.
Financial Discipline: Working in banking teaches you to be conservative with risk and systematic in your approach.
Market Understanding: Banks deal with economic data and market movements daily, giving him context that pure retail traders often lack.
Another reason for Chee’s success is that he never made trading his number one priority. This can be contradictory to most people, but the levels of importance people place on being successful are often what drives their failures. Chee simply kept trading as something he does on the side, and that removes a lot of pressure. It is not to say that it’s something to be taken lightly, but simply seeing the reality of the situation and being logical. It would be illogical for traders to give up their day jobs unless they are absolutely certain of what they are doing.
Honest Self-Assessment
When asked about weaknesses, he gives a practical answer: “Sometimes I don’t have time to prepare in the morning and am unaware of scheduled news.”
This honesty is refreshing. Many traders pretend they have no weaknesses or blame external factors for losses. He recognizes that his busy work schedule sometimes interferes with preparation, and he acknowledges that scheduled news events can disrupt his strategy.
The fact that he’s aware of these limitations means he can work around them, perhaps by preparing the night before when morning time is tight or checking the economic calendar to avoid trading during major announcements.
Platform Experience
His experience with OneUp Trader has been consistently positive. He rates the platform a perfect 10 out of 10 and chose it for its “straightforward evaluation.”
He found the platform setup “neutral” in terms of ease; everything else about his experience has been very positive. He’s “very satisfied” with both the evaluation process and customer support, and would “very likely” recommend OneUp Trader to others.
Balancing Work and Trading
Chee is a good example to follow for those considering funded trading at a funded trader program like OneUp Trader. Thirty minutes of morning preparation, focus on one market, and a simple strategy that doesn’t require constant monitoring throughout the day. On top of that, maintaining a regular job and remembering that trading has its ups and downs, so never put too much pressure on yourself.
Sometimes the best approach is the one that fits your lifestyle and strengths.
