Senior Funded Trader — Santa Fe, NM
Before you continue, please watch this short recruiting video to learn more about this opportunity:
Maverick Currencies is hiring a Senior Funded Trader based in Santa Fe, NM. 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 Fe, NM
Santa Fe-based traders share one of the cleanest setups in the country. The Mountain time zone gives you a compressed and productive trading day — London close at the start of the morning, the New York open shortly after, and the US session wrapping by early afternoon. What you bring is the discipline; the location quietly takes care of the rest.
New Mexico's Mountain time zone gives Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe traders an early but compressed trading day. The London close lands at the start of the morning, the US session wraps by early afternoon, and the rest of the day is free.
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.
