Day Trader — Forex & Crypto — Lansing, MI

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Day Trader — Forex & Crypto based in Lansing, 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 Lansing, MI

For traders living in Lansing, the math works in your favor. 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. 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.

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

• 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: Can I trade my own strategy?

A: Within the program you're learning and executing a defined system. Once funded, you have more flexibility, but the firm has risk parameters that always apply. Traders who try to run wildly different strategies from day one tend not to last.

Q: Is there a daily loss limit?

A: Yes — risk management at the trade level and at the daily level is non-negotiable. The specific limits depend on your account tier, but the principle is the same: protect the capital first, generate returns second.
