Maverick Currencies is hiring a Cryptocurrency Trader based in Sitka, AK. This is a remote, performance-based opportunity — we fund qualified US traders with up to $400,000 in firm capital and split profits 60% to 90% depending on performance tier.
Why Sitka, AK
Based in Sitka? The trading day lands at a workable hour. The Pacific time zone gives you the longest viable FX day in the US — the Asian close, the full European session, and the New York open all unfold through the morning, with peak liquidity hitting before lunch. It's a quietly efficient base for someone serious about treating trading as a profession.
Alaska's position in the Pacific zone (with a one-hour offset much of the year) gives traders an unusual advantage: the New York session opens at 5:30am local, and by lunch the bulk of the high-volume day is done. For traders who prefer their afternoons free, no other US state offers a cleaner schedule.
What You'll Do
- Execute Forex and Crypto trades using funded capital from the firm
- Apply your assigned trading system without skipping setups or sizing up under stress
- Maintain strict risk controls — both per-trade and per-day
- Keep a clean record of every trade and review them honestly
- Engage actively with mentors and other funded traders in the program
Who Thrives Here
- Rule-following, journal-keeping, risk-respecting — these are the traits we hire for
- Comfortable that compensation is entirely profit-share, not salary
- US-based with the home setup to support a daily trading routine
- Building a real trading career, not chasing a fast outcome
What We Provide
- Up to $400K in funded trading capital on a tiered scaling system
- End-to-end education in rule-based Forex and Crypto trading
- An active trader community with regular coaching sessions
- Performance-based profit splits of 60% to 90%
Compensation & Capital Disclosure
This is a performance-based contract role. Traders earn through a profit split on returns they generate — typically 60% to 90% depending on experience and performance tier. Estimated annual earnings range from $50,000 to $200,000+ for consistently profitable traders. Compensation is not a fixed salary or hourly wage; your earnings depend entirely on your trading results. Those who cannot trade profitably will not earn income from this role.
Common Questions
Q: What's the firm's track record?
A: Maverick Trading has been training and funding traders since 1997. We're not a new-wave 'prop firm' that markets challenges aggressively — we're a long-standing operation with a structured program and a track record that pre-dates most of the industry.
Q: Can I trade nights or weekends?
A: Crypto markets run continuously, so there's optional after-hours flexibility there. Forex has weekday session windows. Most traders find that protecting one daily window of focused trading beats trying to trade around the clock.
