Introduction
Meet Moulay L., a funded trader from Groton, Connecticut, who successfully withdrew $10,000 across 2 accounts in just 5 days through the OneUp Trader funded program! At 55 years old, Moulay uses market profile analysis to make impressive withdrawals from the OneUp Trader funded trader program.
Let’s dive into his trading strategy, key statistics, and the mindset that makes him a standout trader.
Funded Account Statistics
Markets & Strategy
Moulay focuses primarily on trading the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and the E-mini NASDAQ 100 (NQ) with a market profile trading strategy. Each market moves differently, especially compared to ES, as NQ is far more volatile. Moulay has learned how to approach each of these markets differently, but focusing on one at a time is always a better idea than trying to master many all at once.
When it comes to his trading strategy, his statistics reveal something fascinating:
- 73% win rate
- Average hold time for winning trades of 94 minutes
- Average hold time for losing trades of just 40 minutes
- Maximum consecutive wins: 9
- Primarily focuses on long positions (30 long trades vs. 3 short trades)
Trading Style
Moulay describes his trading style as “profile trading”, meaning he combines market profile indicators with price action analysis to find trading opportunities in the market. His daily preparation involves “setting day zone of interest,” which allows him to identify high-probability setups before the market even opens.
What makes Moulay’s approach particularly effective is his risk-reward ratio of 1.86, meaning he aims to make nearly twice as much on winning trades as he risks on losing ones. He also had a profit factor of 5.17 which is extremely high even for the most veteran of traders. Of course, this high-profit factor may not always be possible to maintain, but Moulay leverages the OneUp Trader program to take advantage of the fact he never has to risk any of his own money. Just like Jay, these traders understand that they can not win all the time. When they lose their funded accounts, they simply just start again with a new evaluation, something that is simply not possible if they had funded their own personal accounts.
From Nursing to Trading
With a background in nursing and a full-time job, Moulay turned to trading to earn extra income. Despite the challenges of balancing a demanding healthcare profession with learning the markets, he has persevered for five years to develop his skills. This leads us to reflect a little bit on why it’s important to take it slow when learning to trade. At the end of the day, markets can teach us a lot about ourselves, so even if we don’t end up making it a full-time career, if we are logical in the process, we can benefit.
The OneUp Trader Experience
Moulay discovered OneUp Trader through the internet and chose the platform because the “rules suit his trading style.” He gave OneUp Trader an 8 out of 10 rating and described the platform as “easy” to use and a “good company” overall.
Final Thoughts
Moulay’s story is another example of how ‘ordinary’ people can combine their everyday lives with futures markets and trading, something that is only possible with a funded trader program like OneUp Trader. His success is proof that trading isn’t just for Wall Street pros—it’s for anyone willing to put in the work.
Every time we see traders like Moulay, taking advantage of our unique funding services and using the platform just as it was intended to be used, it brings a smile to our faces. It makes us wonder, what could be next? Maybe you could be the next big success story!
