Funded Trader (Equities & Options) – Sullivan
Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Sullivan, MO. 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 Midwest: Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 8:30am Central and closes mid-afternoon. Chicago's CME complex makes the Midwest one of the most important trading regions in the world. Operating on Central Time means the NYSE opens at 8:30am local — an early but workable schedule that pairs well with the region's strong work ethic. 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
