Remote Forex Trader Job in Chicago, IL | Full Time Id-3134

We’re different than a regular day-trading firm. We have made our name as a top swing and position-trading firm, which means we take positions that range from a few days to a few months. One benefit of this strategy is that our traders can work flexible hours, including in part-time and full-time positions. And since all the work is done over the web, traders have the option to work at-location or remotely, provided they have high-speed internet access.

Maverick Currencies is one of the oldest and most experienced prop trading firms out there, and we are ranked as one of the top trading companies in the entire industry. We have lived through multiple bear and bull cycles and understand how to profit in any financial environment. This means we are able to train our traders how to tackle even the most challenging situations. Our emphasis on risk management and mentorship keeps our traders ahead of the curve.

Our traders start out with a minimum account of $25,000 and get to bank 70% to 80% of the profits. Over time as they prove themselves, traders become eligible to trade more and more of the firm’s capital. To give you an idea, our best traders can trade up to $800,000.

Requirements

Often the best candidates have a background in business, and any experience in trading or investing is a bonus. We have many successful traders with us who have a background in real estate. However, the most important characteristic for traders is a commitment to following the firm’s trading methodology and risk management guidelines that are proven to create long-term gains. It is also required that you have a strong interest in cryptocurrency.

The Application Process

We have an in-depth application process that explains what prop trading is, our training methodology, and how we support, fund, and pay our traders. These steps prepare you for your interview with our recruiters, where you can ask any remaining questions you have and discuss why you are a good fit for the position.

Click on the ‘Apply for job’ button below to start your application. You will watch a short video on Maverick Trading and its Capital Sharing Program that details how you get both funded and paid.

You’ll then fill out the rest of the application. After you submit it, one of our recruiters will contact you for an interview where they will vet your suitability for the position.

Expert traders aren’t born, they are built. And Maverick Trading can mold you into one of the best in the business. Get started with one of the best proprietary trading firms in the industry and get paid to trade our capital!
