Compensation Capital Terms

This is not a traditional job with a fixed salary.

Traders are compensated through a share of the profits they generate.

Starting capital allocations can be up to $40, and can grow significantly for traders who perform well over time.

These allocations are not wages or guaranteed income and may be adjusted based on risk and performance.

Why Maverick Instead of Trading Alone?

Many independent traders struggle with inconsistency, lack of structure, and isolation.

Maverick Trading addresses these challenges by combining education, capital allocation, and risk oversight.

Traders keep a large share of the profits while benefiting from the support and structure of a professional firm.
