Trader

Equity swing traders at Maverick hold positions for several days to several weeks. The role is suited to traders who think in trends and base structures rather than ticks, and who prefer a routine that doesn't require chair time at the open. Swing traders typically review overnight, plan in the morning, and check in at key points during the session. Washington, DC: Washington's financial industry is built around the federal government's regulatory complex — SEC, CFTC, Treasury, the Fed — plus a strong defense‑industry concentration. For traders, useful proximity to the regulators who shape market structure, and Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE. What you’ll trade: US equities across the cap spectrum, with a bias toward names that have clean, tradable chart structure and a clear catalyst path over the next several weeks. Earnings exposure is allowed but managed — many swing traders here trim into earnings or hedge with options. Hard‑to‑borrow short positions require approval. Risk framework: Swing trading carries overnight gap risk — earnings, news and Asia‑session reactions. Maverick swing traders cap exposure per name, cap correlated‑sector exposure across the book, and run a portfolio‑level drawdown limit. Position sizing is meaningfully smaller than what most retail swing traders run because we’re protecting firm capital across a portfolio, not maximizing a single trade. Why Maverick funds this role: Swing trading is structurally one of the most viable independent trading paths — the math of overnight returns and the lighter time demands fit more lifestyles than day trading. Maverick funds swing traders because the strategy scales well: firm capital can be deployed across more names, and the per‑trader risk burden is more distributed than in intraday work. Traders who can sit through a position drawing down 1–2 sessions without panicking out People comfortable with rule‑based entries and exits — not gut feel Traders who understand sector and market context, not just individual chart patterns Candidates who prefer a calmer daily rhythm than intraday work #J-18808-Ljbffr
