Senior Funded Trader — Newark, NJ

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Senior Funded Trader based in Newark, NJ. 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 Newark, NJ

Trading from Newark 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.

New Jersey traders in Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and Elizabeth are effectively in the New York financial ecosystem. Eastern time, deep regional finance infrastructure, and proximity to one of the world's largest trading communities make it a natural base.

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: What's the minimum age?

A: You must be 18 or older to apply. Beyond that, age really isn't a factor — we've funded traders in their twenties, fifties, and beyond. What matters is your willingness to follow a system and respect risk.

Q: What support do I get during the program?

A: Structured education, one-on-one coaching, peer review sessions, and an active community of other funded traders. The coaching relationship continues after you're funded — it's not a course that ends.
