FX Trader — New Orleans, LA

Maverick Currencies is hiring a FX Trader based in New Orleans, LA. 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 New Orleans, LA

If you're trading from New Orleans, your local clock does most of the scheduling work for you. 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. Building a sustainable trading routine is half the battle for funded traders, and New Orleans's schedule supports that.

Louisiana traders in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Lafayette work Central time, catching the London close and New York open in mid-morning. With a low cost of living and a strong cultural identity, the state offers an unusual mix of trading discipline and quality of life.

There is no base salary, no hourly rate, and no guaranteed income; your compensation is a function of your trading results.

Common Questions

Q: How do you measure 'consistent'?

A: Consistency is measured across enough trades to be statistically meaningful — not over a lucky week or a bad week. Profit factor, win rate, drawdown discipline, and rule adherence all matter, and we review them on an ongoing cadence rather than as a one-shot evaluation.

Q: Are there sign-up bonuses or guaranteed earnings?

A: No. We don't offer sign-on bonuses, guaranteed minimums, or anything that resembles a salary floor. The model is honest about that — compensation is entirely tied to your trading results.
