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.

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.
