Job description

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Day Trader — Forex & Crypto based in Southampton, United Kingdom. This is a remote, performance-based opportunity — we fund qualified traders with up to $400,000 in firm capital and split profits 60% to 90% depending on performance tier.

Trading from Southampton, United Kingdom

Trading from Europe puts you at the center of the London session — the single highest-liquidity window in the FX market — with the New York open arriving in your afternoon to extend the trading day.

What You'll Do

• Execute Forex and Crypto trades using funded capital from the firm
• Apply your assigned trading system without skipping setups or sizing up under stress
• Maintain strict risk controls — both per-trade and per-day
• Keep a clean record of every trade and review them honestly
• Engage actively with mentors and other funded traders in the program

Who Thrives Here

• Rule-following, journal-keeping, risk-respecting — these are the traits we hire for
• Comfortable that compensation is entirely profit-share, not salary
• US-based with the home setup to support a daily trading routine
• Building a real trading career, not chasing a fast outcome

What We Provide

• Up to $400K in funded trading capital on a tiered scaling system
• End-to-end education in rule-based Forex and Crypto trading
• An active trader community with regular coaching sessions
• Performance-based profit splits of 60% to 90%

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

This is a performance-based contract role. Traders earn through a profit split on returns they generate — typically 60% to 90% depending on experience and performance tier. Estimated annual earnings range from $50,000 to $200,000+ for consistently profitable traders. Compensation is not a fixed salary or hourly wage; your earnings depend entirely on your trading results. Those who cannot trade profitably will not earn income from this role.

Common Questions

Q: What's the firm's track record?

A: Maverick Trading has been training and funding traders since 1997. We're not a new-wave 'prop firm' that markets challenges aggressively — we're a long-standing operation with a structured program and a track record that pre-dates most of the industry.

Q: Can I trade nights or weekends?

A: Crypto markets run continuously, so there's optional after-hours flexibility there. Forex has weekday session windows. Most traders find that protecting one daily window of focused trading beats trying to trade around the clock.
