FX Trader — Des Moines, IA

Maverick Currencies is hiring a FX Trader based in Des Moines, IA. 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 Des Moines, IA

Des Moines-based traders share one of the cleanest setups in the country. 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. What you bring is the discipline; the location quietly takes care of the rest.

Iowa traders in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and Sioux City benefit from Central time positioning. The London close hits mid-morning, the New York open follows, and the high-volume hours of the FX day are concentrated into a clean window before lunch.

What You'll Do

• Trade Forex and Crypto markets on firm capital, not your own

• Execute rule-based systems with discipline and consistency

• Apply strict, position-level risk management on every trade

• Maintain a trade journal and review performance regularly

• Engage with coaches and the broader trader community

Who Thrives Here

• Coachable: willing to follow a system before improvising on it

• Aligned with a performance-based pay model (no salary, no hourly)

• US resident with a workable home office setup

• Long-term mindset — focused on building a craft over years, not weeks

What We Provide

• Funded trading accounts with scaling paths up to $400,000

• Structured education on Forex/Crypto and risk management

• Coaching, performance feedback, and an active trader community

• Profit splits ranging from 60% to 90% based on performance tier

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

Pay is structured as a profit split on trading returns, not a salary. Profitable traders typically retain 60% to 90% of the gains they generate, with annual earnings landing between $50,000 and $200,000+ for those who maintain consistency. Traders who do not produce profitable results do not generate earnings under this model — it is a performance-based role in the most direct sense.

Common Questions

Q: How long does it take to get funded?

A: It varies. Traders who follow the curriculum and stay disciplined often move into a funded account within a few months of starting the evaluation. Traders who skip the rules or trade emotionally take longer — or never get funded.

Q: What's the time commitment?

A: Traders who do well typically protect 2–4 hours per day during their local market window. Consistency over time matters more than long hours; we'd rather see ninety minutes daily than ten hours twice a month.
