Junior Funded Trader — Cicero, IL

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Junior Funded Trader based in Cicero, IL. This is a remote, performance-based opportunity — we fund qualified US traders with up to $400,000 in firm capital and split profits 60% to 90% depending on performance tier.

Why Cicero, IL

Illinois sits in Central time — Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, and Rockford traders work the same hours as the CME pit traders did historically. The London/New York overlap (the deepest liquidity window in forex) hits mid-morning local, which is as clean a trading schedule as the FX market offers.

Based in Cicero? The trading day works in your favor:

Compensation & Capital Disclosure
