Equity & Options Trader — La Jolla, CA
La Jolla, CA
Maverick Trading
Become a Maverick trader in La Jolla. Real firm capital, professional training, and a 65–90% profit split. Pacific Time — NYSE opens at 6:30am local.
Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in La Jolla, CA. We are a proprietary trading firm with 25+ years of experience training and funding professional traders, and we allocate firm capital to disciplined candidates who can demonstrate consistency and risk discipline.
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.
The Local Angle: West Coast
Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open — early, but the trade-off is that you're done by 1pm local. Many of our West Coast traders prefer this rhythm: focused morning work, full afternoon free.
Local time zone: Pacific Time (PT). Trade US markets from your local time — the NYSE opens at 6:30am Pacific and closes mid-afternoon.

How the Remote Setup Works
Maverick traders work from anywhere with reliable broadband. We do not provide office space, and we do not require it. The firm's risk and execution systems are cloud-based, the trading platforms are professional-grade and remote-accessible, and the trader community connects via video and chat — not by physical co-location.
