Equity Day Trader (Remote, Funded) — Portland, OR

An equity day trader at Maverick takes positions in US-listed stocks and closes them by the end of the same session. The role exists for traders who think in tape — order flow, relative volume, intraday levels, and the rhythm of the open and close — and who prefer the discipline of starting each day flat. We allocate firm capital, set risk parameters per trader, and pay a profit split on net intraday P&L. Portland, OR Portland's financial industry is smaller than Seattle's but growing — Columbia Sportswear, Nike, and a handful of asset managers anchor the corporate base. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open. What you'll trade Primarily liquid US equities: large-cap names with tight spreads, high-volume mid-caps, and selectively the most liquid small-caps. We discourage thin tickers, hard-to-borrow shorts, and pre-earnings positioning unless the trader has explicit approval for an earnings-driven strategy. Most day traders here run a watchlist of 10–40 names rather than chasing every gapper. Risk framework Day trading at Maverick is intentionally conservative on a per-trade basis. We do not run hero traders. A typical day trader risks a small fraction of allocated capital on any single idea, sizes positions off pre-defined stop levels, and is measured on consistency over a quarter — not on the best week or the worst week. Daily loss limits are firm and enforced. Why Maverick funds this role Most day-trading paths in retail are funded by selling courses, evaluations, or subscriptions. Maverick is the opposite: we make money only when our traders do. The day-trader role is one of the most rule-bound at the firm, which is intentional — intraday markets punish discretion more than any other timeframe, and disciplined process is the difference between a viable career and a slow drain. Traders who can stay flat for hours when the tape isn't offering anything People who already journal their trades and review them honestly Candidates with experience trading their own capital — even if at small size Traders who can articulate why they took a trade, not just what happened after #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
