Why Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Based in Rancho Cucamonga? The trading day lands at a workable hour. The Pacific time zone gives you the longest viable FX day in the US — the Asian close, the full European session, and the New York open all unfold through the morning, with peak liquidity hitting before lunch. It's a quietly efficient base for someone serious about treating trading as a profession.

California traders catch the tail end of the Asian session, the full London session, and the New York open — all before most of the state has finished its morning coffee. The Pacific time zone gives FX traders the longest viable trading day in the country, and Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento all anchor regional trading communities worth tapping into.

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

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. Estimated annual earnings range from $50,000 to $200,000+ for consistently profitable traders. 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 markets will I trade?

A: The Maverick Currencies program focuses on Forex and Crypto, with some exposure to metals. The day-trading rhythm is similar across these markets, and the rule-based systems we teach apply to all of them.

Q: Can I trade my own strategy?

A: Within the program you're learning and executing a defined system. Once funded, you have more flexibility, but the firm has risk parameters that always apply. Traders who try to run wildly different strategies from day one tend not to last.
