Options Trader

Maverick Trading

Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Spotsylvania, VA. We are a 25+ year proprietary trading firm that allocates firm capital to disciplined traders and scales buying power based on performance and risk management.

Trading from the Mid-Atlantic:

Trade US market hours from your local time zone — the NYSE opens at 9:30am local. The Mid-Atlantic sits squarely in Eastern Time, which means the NYSE bell rings at 9:30am local — no schedule arbitrage, no overnight gymnastics, just the same trading day as Wall Street.

This is not a challenge account. Not a demo evaluation. We provide structured capital allocation for traders who want a professional path to scaling capital.

What you will do:
  • Trade equities and options within defined risk parameters
  • Follow a structured, rules-based risk management approach
  • Build consistency and scale capital based on performance
Why options:

Options allow traders to define risk, hedge exposures, and structure trades beyond simple directional stock positions. Maverick is one of the few proprietary trading firms that actively trades options as a core part of its trading approach.

What we offer:
  • Firm capital allocation — trade our money, not yours
  • Profit split of 65% to 90% based on performance tier
  • Performance-based capital scaling, with no upper cap
  • Professional training and mentorship from active traders
  • Fully remote work — trade from anywhere with reliable internet
  • Monthly ACH payouts on the 1st of each month
  • No challenge accounts, no evaluations, no monthly subscription fees
Compensation:

This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Compensation is a profit-split on trading performance, with no base salary. Top-tier traders earn 90% of their net trading profits.

What we are looking for:
  • Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options), not required
  • Strong risk discipline and consistency mindset
  • Independent decision-making and personal accountability
  • Willingness to complete the Maverick Qualification Program before trading firm capital
About Maverick Trading:

Founded in 1997, Maverick Trading is a proprietary trading firm that trains and funds professional traders. We are not a brokerage. We do not mark up commissions. We profit only when our traders profit.

Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options) but not required. Strong risk discipline, consistency mindset, and independent decision-making required.
