About the Role:
Maverick Trading is hiring self-directed traders to trade firm capital in the US equity and equity options markets. Traders work under a performance-based independent contractor agreement, managing a firm-funded account within defined risk parameters. This is a production role for people who want to trade professionally inside a structured, rules-based program, not a sales, analyst, or client-facing position.
This is a fully remote position. You can trade from anywhere with a reliable connection, and there is no on-site requirement at any point. Open to candidates located in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Responsibilities:
- Trade firm-funded accounts in equities and equity options according to an approved written trading plan
- Operate within the firm's risk framework, including position sizing, defined-risk structures, and maximum drawdown limits
- Build, document, test, and refine a trading plan in coordination with an assigned coach
- Evaluate setups using technical and fundamental criteria, including earnings cycles, implied volatility, and broader market conditions
- Maintain a detailed trade journal and submit performance reports for periodic review
- Participate in scheduled coaching sessions, trade reviews, and team calls
- Complete the firm's training and evaluation program before trading at full capital allocation
Requirements:
- Eligible to contract as an independent contractor in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom
- Working knowledge of technical analysis, including chart structure, support and resistance, and common indicators
- Familiarity with options mechanics, including calls, puts, spreads, and the effect of implied volatility on pricing
- Demonstrated ability to follow a defined process consistently under volatile conditions
- Comfortable with 100% remote work, regular written reporting, and receiving direct coaching feedback
- Reliable high-speed internet and a dedicated home workspace available during US market hours
- Prior trading experience in equities or options is preferred; structured training is provided
- Familiarity with platforms such as TradingView or Interactive Brokers TWS is helpful but not required
Compensation:
This is an independent contractor position compensated through a share of net trading profits generated on firm capital, tiered by performance. There is no base salary or hourly wage. Full contract terms, risk parameters, and program details are reviewed with candidates during the interview process.
About Us:
Maverick Trading is a proprietary trading firm established in 1997, trading equities and equity options with its own capital. The firm supplies trading capital, platform access, structured education, and one-on-one coaching to traders who meet its standards. Traders work remotely on their own schedule within the firm's risk framework, supported by a coaching staff and an active community of working traders. Selection is based on discipline and process consistency rather than prior credentials.
This is a remote position.
Maverick Trading is a proprietary trading firm founded in 1997. We supply the capital, the platforms, the training and the coaching. Our traders supply the discipline.
We operate two trading divisions:
- Maverick Trading – equities and options
- Maverick Currencies – foreign exchange, metals and cryptocurrency
Traders work remotely under a performance-based independent contractor agreement, managing a firm-funded account inside a defined risk framework. Every trader is paired with a coach, builds and documents a written trading plan, and completes our qualification program of simulators, strategy coursework and evaluation before trading at full allocation.
We are not looking for credentials. We look for people who can follow a repeatable process under volatile conditions, take direct coaching feedback, and keep doing the work when a position moves against them. Prior trading experience helps. A teachable temperament matters more.
Our programs are open to traders who can contract as independent contractors in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom.
