Proprietary Trader — Appleton, WI

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

Why Appleton, WI

For traders living in Appleton, the math works in your favor. Central time puts the London/New York overlap — the highest-volume window in forex — squarely in mid-morning local, which is one of the cleanest schedules the market offers. The result: peak FX volume concentrates into the first few hours of your workday, so a disciplined morning routine matters more than long screen time.

Wisconsin traders in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and Kenosha work Central time. The London close and New York open land in the mid-morning sweet spot, with Milwaukee in particular having a meaningful regional finance industry to plug into.

What You'll Do

• Trade Forex and Crypto markets with firm capital on a defined system

• Follow risk rules precisely — they are not optional, they are the model

• Document trades, journal your decisions, and review at scheduled intervals

• Refine your edge through repetition rather than chasing new systems

• Participate in coaching and the live trader community

Who Thrives Here

• Coachable and consistent — discipline beats brilliance in this model

• OK with profit-share-only compensation (no base, no minimums)

• US-based, with reliable internet and an environment you can focus in

• Looking at trading as a multi-year career, not a short-term try

What We Provide

• Funded trading accounts that scale to $400,000 based on results

• A structured curriculum focused on rule-based execution and risk control

• Direct mentorship, weekly performance feedback, and a peer trader network

• Tiered profit splits — 60% at entry, up to 90% at the top performance tiers

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

Compensation here is performance-driven. You keep a profit split on the trading returns you generate — 60% to 90% based on your experience and performance tier. Consistent profitable traders typically earn between $50,000 and $200,000 annually, though this is not a salary; if you do not trade profitably, you do not earn from this role. We are direct about that because it matters.

Common Questions

Q: Do I need a finance background?

A: No. Most of our successful traders come from outside finance entirely — engineering, the trades, the military, teaching, sales. Pattern recognition and discipline transfer well into trading; a degree in finance does not, particularly.

Q: What software or tools do I need?

A: We provide access to the platforms used by the firm and teach you how to use them in the program. You'll need a computer that can run trading software comfortably and stable internet — beyond that, hardware requirements are minimal.
