Currency Trader — Reading, PA

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Currency Trader based in Reading, PA. 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 Reading, PA

For traders living in Reading, 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.

Pennsylvania traders in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Erie work Eastern time. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh both have meaningful regional finance industries, and the New York open lines up cleanly with the start of the workday.

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 nights or weekends?

A: Crypto markets run continuously, so there's optional after-hours flexibility there. Forex has weekday session windows. Most traders find that protecting one daily window of focused trading beats trying to trade around the clock.

Q: Is this a salaried position?

A: No. Compensation is a profit-share on the trading returns you generate using firm capital. Consistently profitable traders typically earn $50,000–$200,000+ annually; non-profitable traders earn nothing, by design.
