Forex & Crypto Trader - Cedar Rapids, IA

Maverick Currencies, a proprietary trading firm founded in 1997, is opening a Forex & Crypto Trader opportunity for candidates based in Cedar Rapids, IA. You don't need to move to Chicago or New York to build a serious trading career. With Cedar Rapids' lower cost of living and a fully remote structure, you can work from where you already are while accessing funded trading capital and a flexible schedule.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position. It is not a salaried or hourly job. There is no base pay, and income is performance-based: traders keep a profit split ranging from 65% to 90% depending on experience and track record. Profits are never guaranteed, and traders who are not profitable earn no income from this role. This opportunity suits people who understand markets reward skill and discipline, not attendance.

What You'll Do

• Trade forex and crypto markets using capital provided through a funded account structure, with accounts scaling up to $400,000 based on performance
• Build and refine your own trading strategy and risk approach over time
• Set your own hours around a flexible schedule that fits your life in Cedar Rapids
• Track results and work toward increasing account size and profit split as you demonstrate consistency

Who This Is For

• No prior trading experience required; structured training is provided
• Self-motivated individuals who want ownership over their decisions, not a desk telling them what to trade
• People looking to start or transition into a trading career without relocating to a financial hub
• Comfortable with a performance-based income model rather than a fixed paycheck

Training & Support

Maverick Currencies provides structured onboarding and ongoing educational resources to help you develop market skills from the ground up. How you trade day to day is your call; the firm provides the capital, framework, and training, while you bring the decision-making.

If you're in Cedar Rapids and ready to build a trading career on your own terms, this role offers a real path forward without the cost or disruption of relocating.
