Remote Funded Equity Day Trader

Maverick Trading

Intraday equity trading with firm capital — flat by close, paid on net profits.

An equity day trader at Maverick takes positions in US-listed stocks and closes them by the end of the same session. The role exists for traders who think in tape — order flow, relative volume, intraday levels, and the rhythm of the open and close — and who prefer the discipline of starting each day flat. We allocate firm capital, set risk parameters per trader, and pay a profit split on net intraday P&L.

What You'll Trade

Primarily liquid US equities: large-cap names with tight spreads, high-volume mid-caps, and selectively the most liquid small-caps. We discourage thin tickers, hard-to-borrow shorts, and pre-earnings positioning unless the trader has explicit approval for an earnings-driven strategy. Most day traders here run a watchlist of 10–40 names rather than chasing every gapper.

Day-to-Day

Pre-market preparation: review overnight catalysts, news, and the levels you intend to trade off
Open: take or pass on gaps and opening drives based on a defined playbook, not impulse
Mid-session: manage existing positions, scale in or out at predefined levels, sit on hands when conditions are poor
Last hour: most of the day's higher-quality setups; many of our day traders take the majority of their P&L here
Close: flatten all positions, log trades with screenshots and notes, review what worked and what didn't

Risk Profile

Day trading at Maverick is intentionally conservative on a per-trade basis. We do not run hero traders. A typical day trader risks a small fraction of allocated capital on any single idea, sizes positions off pre-defined stop levels, and is measured on consistency over a quarter — not on the best week or the worst week. Daily loss limits are firm and enforced.

Who Succeeds in This Role

Traders who can stay flat for hours when the tape isn't offering anything
People who already journal their trades and review them honestly
Candidates with experience trading their own capital — even if at small size
Traders who can articulate why they took a trade, not just what happened after

Why This Role Exists at Maverick

Most day-trading paths in retail are funded by selling courses, evaluations, or subscriptions. Maverick is the opposite: we make money only when our traders do. The day-trader role is one of the most rule-bound at the firm, which is intentional — intraday markets punish discretion more than any other timeframe, and disciplined process is the difference between a viable career and a slow drain.

Tools & Platform

Maverick traders use a professional execution platform with direct market access, real-time Level II, and routing to dark pools and exchanges based on liquidity. We do not use retail mobile apps for execution. Charting and analytics are trader-choice, but most day traders here use Sierra Chart, ThinkOrSwim, or Bookmap alongside the firm's risk system.
