Stock / Options Trader

Top-ranked proprietary trading firm, Maverick Trading, is searching for entrepreneurially-minded, profit-driven people to be trained in the art and science of proprietary trading. Successful candidates will trade stocks and stock options with the firm's capital on behalf of the firm and reap the majority share of the profits.

As one of the best proprietary trading firms in the industry, Maverick Trading offers its traders comprehensive training, extensive support and mentoring, and substantial capital. Unlike a common day trading firm, Maverick Trading is noted as a top swing and position trading firm (holding positions from a few days to a few months). This time horizon allows the firm to offer its traders flexible hours and the ability to start part-time and transition into full-time trading. Prop trading is a mentally engaging, challenging profession where diligence and consistency translate directly into financial reward. In other words, this is truly meaningful work. The firm's traders have the opportunity to practice their craft from anywhere in the world via high-speed internet.

Our Firm:

Started in 1997, Maverick Trading is one of the most experienced prop trading firms and is ranked as one of the top trading companies in the industry, accepting and funding experienced traders as well as teaching motivated people from all backgrounds how to become traders. The firm’s Maverick Currency Division has been actively trading the Currency markets since 2009. As a result of a long track record of success, the firm has the capital to back and fund its traders with meaningful amounts of capital.

Trading the Firm’s Funds:

Each trader starts live trading with a minimum of a $10,000 account ($500,000 in buying power) and keeps 70% to 80% of trading profits. As you gain experience and demonstrate consistent profitability you become eligible for greater amounts of the firm’s capital. Profitable traders are also eligible for Performance Bonuses.

Requirements:

Often the best candidates have a background in business, and any experience in trading or investing is a bonus. We have many successful traders with us who have sales backgrounds. However, the most important characteristic for traders is a commitment to following the firm’s trading methodology and risk management guidelines that are proven to create long-term gains.

Skills Overview:

Traders will need to have the ability to learn multiple types of new software. High Speed internet access is a must. The ability to think critically and analyze charts is also necessary. While there are many styles and strategies for trading, having the ability to clearly define and follow a trading plan is crucial.

To Apply:

Our application process is multi-step and designed to educate you on prop trading, how we train, support and fund our traders, and how we pay out profits to you, as well as focus you for your interview where you can have any remaining questions answered and discuss with your recruiter why Maverick Currencies is a good fit for you.

This will take you to a short video that will discuss Maverick Currencies and its Capital Sharing Program (how you get funded and paid).

When you complete the application process, you will be contacted by one of our experienced recruiters (who are also traders themselves) for a Suitability Interview.

If you’re interested in trading the markets at a professional level, whether part-time, full-time or in a transitional or supplementary income capacity, it pays to start with one of the best prop trading firms in the industry. We look forward to speaking with you and exploring if you’ll be the next great trader to join us.

Based on prior experience and possession of trading licenses or certificates, traders may incur costs in order to trade within the firm. All trading activity also requires fees for data feeds, commissions and trading spreads, which each trader will be responsible for. Once a trader establishes a track record of consistent profitability, the firm will cover these costs on behalf of the trader.
