Review of One up trader

ah gotcha, not affecting the book - thanks

 

Anyone else having trouble logging into oneuptrader website? I get this phone number validation screen that tells me it will send an SMS with code for validation but nothing happens?!?

 

i had this problem too, took 20 mins and code was invalid.. they said they fixed it and then it took only 10 mins and code worked

 

Just sent them an email hopefully it will fix.

 

I think you have the right idea! I just recently started my Evaluation with OneUp. Looking forward to the journey. I personally would rather be on a sim vs live. It's a lot easier mentally to trade knowing I'm on a sim, even though it really makes no difference.

 

Does anybody have seccuss with oneuptraders?

 

OneUpTrader isn't a great company - read my post here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/what-about-the-earn2trade.370710/page-5#post-5959194

Their rules work against the trader. There are better companies out there.

 

I agree with you: "When I read some of these websites, it's like digging through a load of garbage before you get to what they're really offering."
OneUp at first looks good, but in details it is no so obvious.
I traded through earn2trade. And i think it is very good. But i am from Russia and now they told me i cant use their service.
I think the most important also to know you trade at real market (after evalution). And of course the rules that are clear and give more room to trade freely.
I dont know any reliable company that lets to trade at real prop with simple rules.

 

every futures "prop" firm employs tactics to make it harder to profit and withdraw from them; it's just that some are less shady that others.

the two main ones being the trailing drawdown based on real-time unrealized pnl and restrictions on withdrawals (having to create a buffer so that the prop firm never risks their own money with payouts, minimum # of profitable days, can only withdraw once per month/quarter/etc.)

if you must go with these, the least shady futures "prop" firm is probably e2t and tradeday.

the forex "prop" firms like ftmo have much better and easier rules but they're shady in other ways (since you're trading cfd, they will widen spreads).

since you're russian, all of the futures prop firms are out of question due to sanctions so forget about futures.

 

I think TickTickTrader is in Belgium. You might check them out if you're Russian. American companies are out.
