Career Forex Trader — Lewiston, ME

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Career Forex Trader based in Lewiston, ME. 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 Lewiston, ME

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

Maine sits in Eastern time, which puts Portland, Bangor, Lewiston, and Augusta traders on the same clock as Wall Street. The morning session is the most volume-rich window in forex, and Maine traders can wrap their core trading hours before lunch most days.

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: Do I get tax forms?

A: Yes. Funded traders are paid as independent contractors and receive a 1099 at year-end. We don't withhold taxes; you handle your own quarterly estimates and self-employment filings, which is standard for contract trading roles.

Q: What markets will I trade?

A: The Maverick Currencies program focuses on Forex and Crypto, with some exposure to metals. The day-trading rhythm is similar across these markets, and the rule-based systems we teach apply to all of them.
