Introduction
In April 2025, we featured Shuqing G., the 49-year-old registered nurse from Saugus, Massachusetts, who made headlines by withdrawing $12,000 in just nine days. Today, we’re thrilled to share an exciting update: Shuqing has now withdrawn an additional $34,000 in just 8 days of trading, bringing her total to an impressive $46,000 through the OneUp Trader funded trader program.
What Is New?
Since her initial success, Shuqing has refined her strategy and now focuses only on the E-mini S&P 500 (ES). Previously, she traded multiple instruments, but instead of trying to learn how all the different markets move, she is sticking to just one with the same trend-following approach.
Her trading style continues to center around that style, building on the same top-down technical analysis that brought her initial success. She still prepares for each trading day by making a plan based on her chart analysis, remaining systematic and logical.
Shuqing’s disciplined process reflects a truth many traders overlook: the biggest obstacle in trading is ourselves. Fear, greed, doubt, and impatience ruin more trades than bad strategies ever will. In contrast, bots and algorithms thrive because they follow rules without emotion. Shuqing’s success lies in doing the same—removing emotion and remaining systematic.
She told us that she is still struggling with overtrading, but she continues to work on it. Her strength is never giving up and remaining consistent. One way traders can deal with this is to treat the markets like a business. A good businessperson would be logical, methodical, and practical, and understand that emotions would only make things worse.
It again comes down to one’s own psychology; mastering that aspect allows all other things to fall into place. Someone could have a perfect system on paper, but if their mindset is not correct, they will not get very far with trading.
The OneUp Trader Experience
Shuqing rates OneUp Trader a perfect 5 out of 5, citing “fast customer service, fast payout” as the main reasons for choosing us. She chose to trade with OneUp Trader because of the reliable payout system, especially after negative experiences with other funding companies.
“They always find excuses not to pay me like Apex trader funding,” Shuqing told us in her Q&A…
Performance and Growth
At OneUp Trader, we pride ourselves on offering something rare in the prop trading industry:
Fast, unlimited withdrawals—without red tape, payout caps, or excuses.
Shuqing’s recent $34,000 withdrawal didn’t just triple her initial payout—it showcased what’s possible when traders partner with a firm that doesn’t restrict their growth. Withdrawing profits should be seamless, and we’ve built our system to ensure that traders get paid what they’ve earned, as often and as much as they want.
It’s this kind of trader-first approach that sets us apart, and it’s a big reason Shuqing chose us and continues to thrive.
Working Full-Time While Trading
What we see with a lot of the successful traders at OneUp Trader is that they maintain a very regular lifestyle and are not fanatical. Most of them have regular jobs and responsibilities, and as we saw with Karan, it releases a lot of pressure.
If someone is stressed about performing well, then they will certainly be putting themselves at a disadvantage and not even know it. They will assume that what they are doing is correct, but they struggle to see the reality of the situation. Sitting behind screens for 8 hours, trading dozens of different strategies, doesn’t often lead to anything productive, and Shuqing is a perfect example of this.
Final Thoughts
Shuqing’s progress is a great reminder that trading doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on just one market and sticking to the same trend-following strategy, she’s showing that consistency, simplicity, and discipline go a long way.
Even though she’s still working through the challenge of overtrading, what stands out is her commitment. She’s not giving up, she’s not making excuses, and she’s not chasing every shiny object. Instead, she’s building on what’s already working, step by step, and that’s where real growth happens.
At the end of the day, her story is a solid example for other traders: focus on one thing, treat trading like a business, and don’t let emotions drive your decisions. If you stay consistent, the results will follow.
