Job description

Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Palos Verdes Estates, CA. We are a 25+ year proprietary trading firm that allocates firm capital to disciplined traders and scales buying power based on performance and risk management.

Trading from the West Coast: Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 6:30am Pacific and closes mid-afternoon. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open — early, but the trade-off is that you're done by 1pm local. Many of our West Coast traders prefer this rhythm: focused morning work, full afternoon free.

This is not a challenge account. Not a demo evaluation. We provide structured capital allocation for traders who want a professional path to scaling capital.

What you will do:

• Trade equities and options within defined risk parameters
• Follow a structured, rules-based risk management approach
• Build consistency and scale capital based on performance

Why options: Options allow traders to define risk, hedge exposures, and structure trades beyond simple directional stock positions. Maverick is one of the few proprietary trading firms that actively trades options as a core part of its trading approach.

What we offer:

• Firm capital allocation — trade our money, not yours
• Profit split of 65% to 90% based on performance tier
• Performance-based capital scaling, with no upper cap
• Professional training and mentorship from active traders
• Fully remote work — trade from anywhere with reliable internet
• Monthly ACH payouts on the 1st of each month
• No challenge accounts, no evaluations, no monthly subscription fees

Compensation: This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Compensation is a profit-split on trading performance, with no base salary. Top-tier traders earn 90% of their net trading profits.

What we are looking for:

• Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options), not required
• Strong risk discipline and consistency mindset
• Independent decision-making and personal accountability
• Willingness to complete the Maverick Qualification Program before trading firm capital

About Maverick Trading: Founded in 1997, Maverick Trading is a proprietary trading firm that trains and funds professional traders. We are not a brokerage. We do not mark up commissions. We profit only when our traders profit.

Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options) but not required. Strong risk discipline, consistency mindset, and independent decision-making required.
