To become a Maverick Trader, you must satisfactorily complete the following requirements:

• The Maverick Qualification Program: Our qualification program has been developed over several decades at Maverick. Our goal is to help new traders develop professional trading, risk-management and position-sizing practices. Our Qualification Program has over 1000 hours of videos on demand on almost every charting and option trading topic. All of our instructors are seasoned traders and teach the Maverick Trading methodology. Our focus is in imparting to our traders proper capital allocation, risk management and position sizing required as a professional trader.
• Pass the Maverick verification program: Since you will be trading with our capital, we have a program to assure us of each trader's understanding of the stock and options market in general. Each trader will need to pass a series of tests demonstrating understanding of position sizing, risk management techniques, order entry, and profit targets. Prospective Traders in our system will have unlimited access to the tests and unlimited attempts to pass the tests. Courseware is available to assist our traders to pass the tests.
• Proven Track Record: Each trader must demonstrate that they can implement the strategies learned in the Maverick Trading training program. Prospective traders will spend time on a Maverick Trading demo account that will be analyzed and monitored by the trader/coach assigned to them. Management will review implementation of the written trading plan/system, risk vs. reward ratios, capital allocation and drawdowns. Completing these requirements does not guarantee acceptance or a firm-capital allocation; both remain subject to management approval and discretion.

You are not being hired in the traditional sense with benefits and a salary. Participants operate as independent contractors, and compensation is based on trading performance. Completing membership requirements does not guarantee acceptance, a trader position or an allocation of firm capital; those decisions remain subject to Maverick Trading's approval and discretion. Accepted traders may be authorized to trade on behalf of a trading LLC in a sub-account and may receive access to professional data feeds, commission rates and trading software. Trading involves risk of loss, and compensation is not guaranteed. Traders are responsible for their own taxes. Refer to the applicable written agreement and Trader Advancement Tables for current terms and payout rates.

Before joining Maverick Trading as a member/trader, your primary responsibility will be to complete Maverick's in-house training program. If accepted and allocated firm capital, your primary responsibility will be to trade in accordance with Maverick's risk guidelines and position-sizing requirements. Acceptance and capital allocation are discretionary and are not guaranteed. As you gain experience and progress within Maverick, you may, from time to time, be called upon to conduct a class or discussion among other Maverick traders. While not required, we recommend you participate in the live Maverick online trading sessions, our Discord server and our yearly Trading Summits in Las Vegas where we discuss trading principles.

Monthly trading profits are calculated from each option period and a trader's profits will be credited on the Saturday after options expiration. This date is between the 15th and 22nd of each month. Profit disbursements will be made on the 1st of the month following the prior trading period. As an example, if a trader earned $5,000 in profits in the March options period and was on an 80% profit split, they would receive a disbursement of $4,000 on April 1st. This is an arithmetic illustration of how the split is applied. The $5,000 is an assumed input, not a projection, average or expected result. A trader can retain any earnings within their trading account and apply for higher capital amounts.

You may request additional buying power. Any increase is discretionary and may be based on trading performance, profits retained in the account, the size of the risk capital contribution, additional education requirements and management approval. Larger buying power also means larger risk exposure. No increase or capital allocation is guaranteed, and trading involves risk of loss.

Yes! Years ago, the answer to this question would have been a definite “no.” Maverick Trading was one of the first prop firms in the world to offer remote trading. Today, due to incredible technological advancements in the professional trading field, we can monitor, assist, and teach a trader remotely, just as effectively as one on-site. While some traders do thrive in the energetic environment of a trading room, many do better from the comfort and solitude of their own homes. What's more, our remote traders experience all that happens on our main trading floor through our trade setups in the weekly Trading Room and our real-time trade updates on our members area Trading blog.

Yes. Part-time traders often grow into some of our best traders. First of all, their growth and development as professional traders happen in smaller, more digestible periods. Secondly, the lessons learned are steady and the part-time nature of their trading reduces the risk of being overloaded and overwhelmed with too much at one time. Some of our best full-time traders today began as part-timer traders first.

Since it is our money, we want to make sure we have traders who know what they are doing to minimize our risk.
