From Midwest
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.
Local time zone: Eastern Time (ET). Trade US market hours from your local time zone — the NYSE opens at 9:30am local.
The Midwest Edge
Indiana's economy is built around insurance and pharmaceuticals — Eli Lilly is headquartered in Indianapolis, and the state has a meaningful financial-services back-office concentration. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE.
The Role, Day to Day
- Trade equities and options within defined risk parameters
- Follow a structured, rules-based risk management approach
- Build consistency and scale capital based on performance
The Case for 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.
How Maverick Funds You
- Trade firm capital
- Performance-based scaling
- Profit split: 65%–90%
- Remote flexibility (U.S. applicants)
How the Remote Setup Works
Remote work at Maverick is not a perk — it is the structural model. The firm was built around remote traders from the start, the technology stack assumes a distributed team, and the support infrastructure (mentorship, risk oversight, training) is delivered remotely by design.
Who We Fund
- Trading experience preferred (equities and/or options)
- Strong risk discipline and consistency mindset
- Independent decision-making and accountability
