Proprietary Trader — Youngstown, OH
Before you continue, please watch this short recruiting video to learn more about this opportunity:
Maverick Currencies is hiring a Proprietary Trader based in Youngstown, OH. 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 Youngstown, OH
If you're trading from Youngstown, your local clock does most of the scheduling work for you. 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. Building a sustainable trading routine is half the battle for funded traders, and Youngstown's schedule supports that.
Ohio traders in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Akron work Eastern time. The New York open is start-of-day local, the London close lands mid-morning, and the trader community in Cleveland and Columbus has been quietly growing for years.
