Proprietary Trader — Richmond, KY

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Proprietary Trader based in Richmond, KY. 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 Richmond, KY

Richmond-based traders share one of the cleanest setups in the country. 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. What you bring is the discipline; the location quietly takes care of the rest.

Kentucky traders in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and Owensboro mostly sit in Eastern time (with a sliver of the western state on Central). The New York open hits at the start of the work day, putting peak FX volume hours into the morning routine.

What You'll Do

• Trade Forex and Crypto markets on firm capital, not your own

• Execute rule-based systems with discipline and consistency

• Apply strict, position-level risk management on every trade

• Maintain a trade journal and review performance regularly

• Engage with coaches and the broader trader community

Who Thrives Here

• Coachable: willing to follow a system before improvising on it

• Aligned with a performance-based pay model (no salary, no hourly)

• US resident with a workable home office setup

• Long-term mindset — focused on building a craft over years, not weeks

What We Provide

• Funded trading accounts with scaling paths up to $400,000

• Structured education on Forex/Crypto and risk management

• Coaching, performance feedback, and an active trader community

• Profit splits ranging from 60% to 90% based on performance tier

Compensation & Capital Disclosure

Pay is structured as a profit split on trading returns, not a salary. Profitable traders typically retain 60% to 90% of the gains they generate, with annual earnings landing between $50,000 and $200,000+ for those who maintain consistency. Traders who do not produce profitable results do not generate earnings under this model — it is a performance-based role in the most direct sense.

Common Questions

Q: How long does it take to get funded?

A: It varies. Traders who follow the curriculum and stay disciplined often move into a funded account within a few months of starting the evaluation. Traders who skip the rules or trade emotionally take longer — or never get funded.

Q: What's the time commitment?

A: Traders who do well typically protect 2–4 hours per day during their local market window. Consistency over time matters more than long hours; we'd rather see ninety minutes daily than ten hours twice a month.
