Job description

Chicago built its reputation on the trading floor — from the pits of the CME to the glass towers along LaSalle Street, this city moves markets. Maverick Currencies, founded in 1997, is looking for driven individuals in Chicago, IL who want to bring that same intensity to the global currency markets, fully remote, on their own schedule.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, not a salaried or hourly position. You won't be clocking in — you'll be trading with capital, backed by a firm that has been developing traders for over two decades. No prior trading experience is required. Maverick Currencies provides structured training to help you build real skills in FX trading, from the fundamentals to advanced strategy, so you can step into the markets with confidence rather than guesswork.

What You Can Expect

• Comprehensive training designed for traders starting from zero experience
• Access to funded trading accounts up to $400,000 based on performance
• A profit split ranging from 65% to 90%, determined by your results
• Full flexibility — trade the hours that work for your life, your city, your rhythm
• Independence to execute your own strategy and decisions in the market

Compensation is performance-based. Profits are never guaranteed, and traders who are not profitable earn no income from this role. This is a serious opportunity for people who understand that trading rewards discipline and skill, not a paycheck for showing up. Maverick Currencies does not direct or supervise your day-to-day trading decisions — you operate with autonomy, applying the training and tools provided to pursue your own results.

If you've got the hunger that Chicago traders are known for — the drive to compete, the discipline to learn, and the ambition to turn skill into income — this is your entry point into the FX markets. No finance degree required. No trading floor badge needed. Just the willingness to learn and the discipline to execute.

Step into the market. Chicago has always been a trading town. Make your move.

No prior trading experience required. Must be disciplined, coachable, and committed to learning rule-based trading systems.
