Funded Forex Trader — Los Angeles, CA

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Funded Forex Trader based in Los Angeles, CA. 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 Los Angeles, CA

Trading from Los Angeles has a structural advantage that's easy to underrate. The Pacific time zone gives you the longest viable FX day in the US — the Asian close, the full European session, and the New York open all unfold through the morning, with peak liquidity hitting before lunch. For traders building a long-term career, that kind of stable daily rhythm compounds.

California traders catch the tail end of the Asian session, the full London session, and the New York open — all before most of the state has finished its morning coffee. The Pacific time zone gives FX traders the longest viable trading day in the country, and Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento all anchor regional trading communities worth tapping into.

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.
