Maverick Currencies is hiring a Funded Forex Trader based in Birmingham, AL. 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 Birmingham, AL

Trading from Birmingham has a structural advantage that's easy to underrate. 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. For traders building a long-term career, that kind of stable daily rhythm compounds.

Alabama traders sit in the Central time zone, which lines up neatly with the London close and the New York morning session — two of the highest-volume windows in the forex day. From Birmingham to Mobile to Huntsville, you're trading the most liquid hours of the FX market from a state with a low cost of living and a steady internet backbone.

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.
