Remote Proprietary Options Trader - El Mirage, AZ

Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in El Mirage, AZ. We are a 25+ year proprietary trading firm that allocates firm capital to disciplined traders and scales buying power based on performance and risk management.

Trading from the Southwest:

Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 7:30am Mountain and closes mid-afternoon. The Southwest combines low cost of living, strong tech-sector growth, and Mountain Time alignment — the NYSE opens at 7:30am local, giving you an early start and a long afternoon.

This is not a challenge account. Not a demo evaluation. We provide structured capital allocation for traders who want a professional path to scaling capital.

What you will do:

• Trade equities and options within defined risk parameters
• Follow a structured, rules-based risk management approach
• Build consistency and scale capital based on performance

Why options:

Options allow traders to define risk, hedge exposures, and structure trades beyond simple directional stock positions. Maverick is one of the few proprietary trading firms that actively trades options as a core part of its trading approach.

What we offer:

• Firm capital allocation — trade our money, not yours
• Profit split of 65% to 90% based on performance tier
• Performance-based capital scaling, with no upper cap
• Professional training and mentorship from active traders
• Fully remote work — trade from anywhere with reliable internet
• Monthly ACH payouts on the 1st of each month
• No challenge accounts, no evaluations, no monthly subscription fees

Compensation:

This is a 1099 independent contractor role. Compensation is a profit-split on trading performance, with no base salary. Top-tier traders earn 90% of their net trading profits.

What we are looking for:

• Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options), not required
• Strong risk discipline and consistency mindset
• Independent decision-making and personal accountability
• Willingness to complete the Maverick Qualification Program before trading firm capital

Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options) but not required. Strong risk discipline, consistency mindset, and independent decision-making required.
