Maverick Currencies is hiring a Lead Funded Trader based in Torrance, CA. 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 Torrance, CA

If you're trading from Torrance, your local clock does most of the scheduling work for you. 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. Building a sustainable trading routine is half the battle for funded traders, and Torrance's schedule supports that.

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.

What You'll Do

  • Day trade Forex and Crypto markets using firm-provided capital
  • Follow and refine rule-based trading systems
  • Apply strict risk management on every trade
  • Review trades, track performance, and continuously improve
  • Participate in coaching sessions and the trader community

Who Thrives Here

  • Discipline and consistency matter more here than trading experience
  • Comfortable with profit-share compensation — no salary, no hourly
  • US-based with reliable internet and a quiet space to trade
  • Treating trading as a career, not a hobby or side project

What We Provide

  • Funded accounts with scaling milestones up to $400,000
  • A structured education program covering systems, psychology, and risk management
  • Coaching, peer review, and a community of funded traders
  • 60% to 90% profit splits depending on your performance tier

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

Maverick Currencies operates on a performance-share model. Traders are paid a percentage of the profits they generate trading the firm's capital — 60% to 90% depending on tier. Realistic annual earnings for profitable traders range from $50,000 to $200,000+. There is no base salary, no hourly rate, and no guaranteed income; your compensation is a function of your trading results.

Common Questions
