Vertical Spread Options Trader (Remote, Funded) — Seattle, WA

A vertical spread options trader at Maverick uses debit and credit verticals as the primary expression of trade ideas — directional views via debit spreads, range-bound or income views via credit spreads. The strategy is simple by design: defined risk, defined reward, no naked short legs, and a clean structure to size and manage. Seattle, WA: Seattle is home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a financial industry built around those anchor employers. Russell Investments is headquartered in the metro, and a meaningful asset‑management presence has grown around the tech wealth concentration. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open. Washington has no state income tax. What you'll trade: Vertical spreads across single-name US equity options and index options. Debit spreads for directional trades on liquid mid- and large-caps. Credit spreads (bull put, bear call) for range and income views. We do not run unlimited-risk structures from this role. Risk framework: Vertical spreads cap loss at the width of the spread minus the premium received (credit) or paid (debit). That defined-risk feature is the role's main attraction. Maverick still caps per-position notional, total open vertical risk, and correlation across positions. Why Maverick funds this role: Verticals are the cleanest first professional options strategy. Maverick funds traders here both as a primary role for traders specializing in spreads and as a stepping-stone for traders developing into more complex options strategies. Traders who prefer the simplicity of a defined structure over complex multi-leg combinations People who want options exposure without the complexity of naked premium or calendars Candidates new to professional options trading - verticals are an excellent foundation role Traders who can resist widening spreads to chase higher premium or trade larger size #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
