Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Clay Center, KS. 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 Plains:
Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 8:30am Central and closes mid-afternoon. The Plains states offer Central Time alignment with US markets, low cost of living, and a focus and discipline that translates well to professional trading.
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
