Funded Forex Trader — Detroit, MI
Before you continue, please watch this short recruiting video to learn more about this opportunity:
Maverick Currencies is hiring a Funded Forex Trader based in Detroit, MI. 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 Detroit, MI
Detroit is a sensible base for remote trading. 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. You're not trying to outwork the market — you're matching your hours to where the liquidity actually is, then stepping away.
Michigan traders in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, and Sterling Heights work Eastern time. The London close lands mid-morning, the New York open at the start of the workday, and the bulk of high-volume FX activity wraps before evening obligations.
What You'll Do
- Day-trade Forex and Crypto markets using the firm's capital, not your own
- Operate inside a rule-based system rather than discretionary trading
- Apply per-trade risk caps and daily loss limits without exception
- Review your trades, learn from the losses, and compound the wins
- Show up to coaching, contribute to peer review, and stay in the community
Who Thrives Here
- Disciplined, coachable, and committed to a rule-based approach
- Comfortable with performance-based (not salaried) compensation
- US-based, reliable internet and a workable trading environment
- Serious about building trading as a long-term professional craft
What We Provide
- Access to firm capital with a clear path to $400,000 in funded accounts
- Education and training across Forex and Crypto markets, with an emphasis on risk-first execution
- An ongoing coaching relationship and an active community of working traders
- Profit-share tiers from 60% to 90% based on demonstrated consistency
Compensation & Capital Disclosure
This is a contract role with no fixed salary or hourly pay. Earnings come entirely from a profit split on the trading returns you generate, ranging from 60% to 90% of profits depending on your tier. Consistently profitable traders earn $50,000 to $200,000+ per year. Traders who are not consistently profitable will not earn income — the model rewards results, not effort.
Common Questions
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.
Q: What time zone do I need to trade in?
A: Any US time zone works. The program is built around the London/New York overlap, but Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern traders all run profitable accounts. Your local clock changes the shape of your day, not the viability of trading.
