ETF Trend Trader (Remote, Funded) — Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix, AZ: Phoenix has become one of the fastest-growing financial centers in the country over the last decade — Charles Schwab, USAA, Northern Trust, and a wave of fintech operations have moved meaningful headcount to the metro. Mountain Time gives traders a 7:30am market open, leaving a clean afternoon for non-screen work. The low cost of living and strong infrastructure make this a popular relocation destination for remote traders. What you'll trade: Liquid US-listed ETFs across broad market, sector, and thematic categories. Some traders extend into commodity ETFs (GLD, USO) and bond ETFs (TLT, IEF) for cross-asset trend exposure. We exclude leveraged and inverse ETFs from primary positions due to decay characteristics. Risk framework: Trend-following has long, frustrating drawdowns followed by strong runs. Maverick traders in this role are sized so that a typical drawdown is survivable across a calendar year, and the firm's risk framework caps both per-position and portfolio-level loss limits. The strategy works on a 3–5 year timeline, not a 3-month one. Why Maverick funds this role: Trend-following is one of the most studied and best-documented edges in markets. The retail problem is rarely the strategy — it's the discipline to follow it through drawdowns. Maverick funds traders who have already done the psychological work, with firm capital that lets them size properly. Traders who can sit through 6+ months of choppy, low-return conditions without abandoning the strategy People who think in expectancy and Sharpe, not in win rate Candidates who have backtested their own trend systems and understand what 'live' results look like Traders with patience — this is one of the slower-rhythm roles at the firm #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
