Junior Funded Trader — Santa Ana, CA

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Junior Funded Trader based in Santa Ana, 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 Santa Ana, CA

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

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

• 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: Do you hire internationally?

A: No. Maverick Currencies hires US-based traders only. This is a contractual and regulatory constraint, not a preference, and it applies to all of our funded trading programs.

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.
