Introduction
There are many factors that play into a trader’s success, but arguably, the most important is access to capital and how trading one’s own money can drastically affect emotions, stress levels, and decision-making.
If you’re a skilled trader, you want to put your strategy to the test and get paid for the edge you have found. But doing it by saving up personal capital, funding your own account, and learning the hard way is becoming outdated fast..
Why?
Because there’s a better way, and it’s by using the OneUp Trader funded trader program to pass an evaluation, earn a funded account, receive a generous profit split, trade on your own terms, all without risking your own money.
Here’s why traders all over the world are moving away from self-funding and instead going all-in on the OneUp Trader funded trader program.
No Risk, Only Profits
All traders take losses; all strategies go through drawdowns. This is something everyone has to accept when they step into financial markets. If you’re funding your own account, every losing trade is a loss that you personally take. The emotional weight can cloud your judgment and push you into all sorts of bad habits that harm your decision-making skills. This is because greed and fear then start to dominate us instead of logical thinking and following our plan.
When you trade through a funded trader program, the capital isn’t yours, and neither is the downside risk. You’re trading a funded account with rules and limits, but if you take a loss, your bank account isn’t hurt. That buffer lets you stay focused on trading to the best of your ability while also maintaining a balance in everyday life because none of your funds are at risk. This can alleviate a massive amount of stress from trading personal funds and can lead to far more confidence and a calmer mindset.
Start Trading Big Capital Now With a Funded Trader Program
OneUp Trader offers accounts ranging from $25,000 – $250,000. This means traders have access to big buying power and can trade up to 25 contracts immediately! For most personal accounts, it would take a long time before buying power like this can be accumulated, and it still doesn’t remove the fact that the trader’s funds are heavily at risk then. Imagine being able to trade 25 contracts, with no risk at all! This is possible with us, but if the 250K account is too intimidating, we also have accounts starting as low as $25K and a monthly subscription fee of $65.
Transparent Evaluation
Some prop firms make the process extra complicated with multi-phase evaluations, hidden rules, and surprise costs. Some make it nearly impossible to make withdrawals. That’s not the case with the OneUp Trader funded trader program.
The 1-Step Evaluation is clear and simple. You know all the rules, right from the start. An easy-to-follow welcome email is sent immediately after sign-up, and the 24/7 support team is there, ready to assist you with anything you need.
Once you have traded for a minimum of 10 days and hit the profit target, you can submit your evaluation for review. The review takes less than three days to process, and the funded account is then fully set up. As a funded trader, you have zero costs if you trade with RTrader or Ninjatrader. That is right—absolutely zero costs. The funding partners cover everything once you are funded. Even commissions are paid through the funded account, which means you avoid all of the overheads we mentioned above if you were to open your own personal account. You get access to professional-grade software, including a free NinjaTrader license and live market data, without the extra monthly bills.
All you need to do is trade as best you can, and we handle the rest.
Earn 90% of the Profits, Withdrawals Processed the Same Day
As a funded trader, you enjoy free unlimited profit withdrawals from day one once the withdrawal threshold is reached. You can withdraw a minimum of $1000; there are no maximum limits, and requests are processed the same day. All of this without there ever being any risk to you!
For example, the withdrawal threshold for a $50,000 account is $2,500. Everything after the $2,500 you may withdraw with a minimum of $1,000.
Withdrawals can be processed via Bank Wire or Cryptocurrency (BTC & USDT). You may request a withdrawal any time between Monday and Friday and may post to your account within 1-2 business days (Refer to your banking institution for posting times).
In July, a funded trader at the OneUp Trader funded trader program withdrew $73,000, bringing his total to a whopping $176,841! Imagine withdrawing this amount of capital from the markets without ever risking your own money. That is another reason why more and more traders are moving to funded trader programs!

Why Demo Accounts Have Limitations
Many trading sites and experts in the industry suggest that new traders “paper trade” in a simulated account to gain experience. While this may help you learn to identify technical patterns, entry points, and test strategies, you can’t simulate the psychological side of a trade unless something is ‘on the line.’
This is another reason the OneUp Trader funded trader program is beneficial. You are given an environment where something is ready to be gained, a funded account. You are trying to become a funded trader, and it simulates perfectly the psychological aspect of trading a fully funded account without the risk.
Most traders will go through a series of blown accounts before they become profitable, but you dont have to because of the program that we have to offer.
Let’s do a simple calculation: someone signs up for the beginner evaluation ($50K). The cost to sign up is only $75, and if the trader hits the profit target and follows the rules, they are given a fully funded $50K account with $2,500 as a drawdown. That means they get a $2,500 buffer for only paying $75! That equals 33 possible evaluations until the $2,500 is met if the trader had to fund his own account and put that money at risk.
Let’s take a closer look at the differences between a personal account and an evaluation.
Comparison: Personal Account vs. OneUp Trader Funded Trader Program
| Aspect | Personal Account | OneUp Trader Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Capital | Limited to personal funds, often small | Access to large capital immediately |
| Risk | High risk of over-leveraging due to small account size | Rules require strict risk management |
| Psychology | Pressure often leads to emotional trading | Structured environment encourages discipline |
| Costs | Only your deposit at risk, but potential for total loss | Evaluation fee required; no personal funds ever at risk in the markets |
| Profit Split | You keep 100% of profits | You split profits 90/10 with the first $10,000 100% yours |
| Flexibility | Total freedom in how you trade | Must follow rules (drawdown limits, daily loss limits, etc.) |
Account Analytics
Traders who sign up at OneUp Trader get access to a full array of account analytics, which track in-depth statistics for their respective accounts. Metrics include the number of days they still need to trade, how much profit they need to hit the target, and total profit/loss.
In the screenshot above, we have a trader who hit the profit target and followed the rules in an express account. Express funding is open to traders who have unfortunately lost their funded account and want to get funded again. The trading days are only set at 5, and the funding process is faster overall, so the trader doesn’t lose their rhythm.
There are other useful metrics, such as daily P&L
And Win-Loss Rate
Statistics like these help traders identify where they are doing well and where they could be doing better. If a trader aims to improve and study their statistics, it can provide them with a helpful insight they wouldn’t otherwise get on a personal account. The account analytics feature is available to all traders on the free trial, evaluation, and funded accounts and updates every hour.
The account analytics section also shows data for:
- Daily win percentage
- Trade distribution by day of week
- Performance by day of week
- Trade distribution by hour of day
- Performance by hour of day
- Total trades by duration
- Trade performance by duration
- Trade distribution by instrument
- Performance by instrument
- Win/loss PnL by trade type
