Forex Trader - Chesapeake, VA

Proprietary FX Trader

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Proprietary FX Trader based in Chesapeake, VA. This is a remote, performance-based opportunity we fund qualified traders with up to $400,000 in firm capital and split profits 60% to 90% depending on performance tier.

Why Chesapeake, VA

Trading from Chesapeake has a structural advantage that's easy to underrate. Eastern time aligns you directly with the New York open and the London close, so the high-volume hours of the FX day land in your morning instead of fighting your evening. For traders building a long-term career, that kind of stable daily rhythm compounds.

What You'll Do

Run a defined trading system on Forex and Crypto using firm capital. Stick to the rules discretionary deviation is a primary failure mode we screen against. Manage risk at the trade level (not just at the account level). Track results, learn from losses, and iterate on what's working. Show up to coaching and contribute to community trade reviews.

Who Thrives Here

Discipline, patience, and an honest relationship with risk. Comfortable being paid on profit-share rather than a fixed salary. US-based with stable internet and a distraction-tolerant workspace. Committed to trading as a profession, not a quick income source.

What We Provide

Firm capital up to $400,000 with a defined scaling path. A structured trading program covering technical analysis, risk management, and trade execution. One-on-one coaching plus ongoing performance review. Profit splits from 60% to 90% tied to performance milestones.

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

This role pays through profit-share, not salary. You trade firm capital and keep 60% to 90% of the returns you generate, based on your performance tier. Consistently profitable traders typically realize $50,000 to $200,000+ annually. The trade-off is explicit: there is no salary floor. If you are not profitable, you do not earn the upside is that profitable traders are not capped.

Common Questions

Q: Is this work-from-home or hybrid?

A: It's fully remote. There is no office to come into, no required in-person time, and no geographic limits beyond being US-based. Plenty of our traders have never met the team in person the work doesn't require it.

Q: What happens if I have a losing month?

A: Losing months happen to every trader, including the consistently profitable ones. Within the firm's risk framework you have room to recover; outside of it (i.e., if you blow risk rules) the account is paused for review. Discipline is what preserves the relationship.
