Crypto Markets Trader — Tinley Park, IL
Before you continue, please watch this short recruiting video to learn more about this opportunity:
Maverick Currencies is hiring a Crypto Markets Trader based in Tinley Park, IL. 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 Tinley Park, IL
Illinois sits in Central time — Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, and Rockford traders work the same hours as the CME pit traders did historically. The London/New York overlap (the deepest liquidity window in forex) hits mid-morning local, which is as clean a trading schedule as the FX market offers.
If you're trading from Tinley Park, the structural advantages are real:
Maverick Currencies funds Tinley Park traders the same way we fund anyone: based on demonstrated discipline and rule-based execution. The city you're trading from doesn't determine your ceiling — but a sensible base helps.
What You'll Do
- Day trade Forex and Crypto markets using firm-provided capital
- Follow and refine rule-based trading systems
- Apply strict risk management on every trade
- Review trades, track performance, and continuously improve
- Participate in coaching sessions and the trader community
Who Thrives Here
- Disciplined, coachable, and committed to a rule-based approach
- Comfortable with performance-based (not salaried) compensation
- US-based, reliable internet and a workable trading environment
- Serious about building trading as a long-term professional craft
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
This is a performance-based contract role. Traders earn through a profit split on trading returns they generate — typically 60% to 90% depending on experience and performance tier.
