Job description

Maverick Currencies is hiring a Lead Funded Trader based in Sterling Heights, MI. 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 Sterling Heights, MI

Based in Sterling Heights? The trading day lands at a workable hour. Eastern time aligns you directly with the New York open and the London close, so the high-volume hours of the FX day land in your morning instead of fighting your evening. It's a quietly efficient base for someone serious about treating trading as a profession.

Michigan traders in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, and Sterling Heights work Eastern time. The London close lands mid-morning, the New York open at the start of the workday, and the bulk of high-volume FX activity wraps before evening obligations.

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: How do I apply?

A: Through the application form linked on this page. The process starts with a short application, followed by a conversation about whether the program is the right fit for your situation and goals. We don't pressure-sell — if it isn't a fit, we'll say so.

Q: Do I need a finance background?

A: No. Most of our successful traders come from outside finance entirely — engineering, the trades, the military, teaching, sales. Pattern recognition and discipline transfer well into trading; a degree in finance does not, particularly.
