Forex Trader - California

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

Trading from California

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

• Run a defined trading system on Forex and Crypto using firm capital

• Stick to the rules — discretionary deviation is a primary failure mode we screen against

• Manage risk at the trade level (not just at the account level)

• Track results, learn from losses, and iterate on what's working

• Show up to coaching and contribute to community trade reviews

Who Thrives Here

• Discipline, patience, and an honest relationship with risk

• Comfortable being paid on profit-share rather than a fixed salary

• US-based with stable internet and a distraction-tolerant workspace

• Committed to trading as a profession, not a quick income source

What We Provide

• Firm capital up to $400,000 with a defined scaling path

• A structured trading program covering technical analysis, risk management, and trade execution

• One-on-one coaching plus ongoing performance review

• Profit splits from 60% to 90% tied to performance milestones

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

This role pays through profit-share, not salary. You trade firm capital and keep 60% to 90% of the returns you generate, based on your performance tier. Consistently profitable traders typically realize $50,000 to $200,000+ annually. The trade-off is explicit: there is no salary floor. If you are not profitable, you do not earn — the upside is that profitable traders are not capped.

Common Questions

Q: What's the minimum age?

A: You must be 18 or older to apply. Beyond that, age really isn't a factor — we've funded traders in their twenties, fifties, and beyond. What matters is your willingness to follow a system and respect risk.

Q: What support do I get during the program?

A: Structured education, one-on-one coaching, peer review sessions, and an active community of other funded traders. The coaching relationship continues after you're funded — it's not a course that ends.
