Remote Funded Energy Sector Momentum Trader

What You'll Trade

Large-cap integrated names (XOM, CVX) for option liquidity and stability, E&P names for leveraged exposure to crude moves, midstream MLPs and corporations for income-plus-momentum plays, and refiners for the crack-spread cycle. ETFs (XLE, XOP, OIH) for thematic exposure.

Day-to-Day

• Morning: review overnight crude and natural gas moves; check sector relative strength versus the S&P
• Track inventory data days (Tuesday API, Wednesday EIA) — these are the highest-volatility windows of the week
• Identify entries on commodity-driven moves: catalyst trades around inventory prints, technical setups on individual names
• Manage positions with awareness that geopolitical headlines move the sector outside market hours

Risk Profile

Energy carries commodity correlation risk, geopolitical headline risk, and overnight gap risk on weekend news. Maverick caps single-name exposure, total sector exposure, and requires hedging plans for positions held over major inventory or OPEC events.

Who Succeeds in This Role

• Traders who already follow crude, natural gas, and the OPEC calendar as part of their daily routine
• People with a macro mindset — energy moves on geopolitics as much as fundamentals
• Candidates with patience for cyclical positioning, not just short-term momentum
• Traders who can size for headline risk over weekends and holidays

Why This Role Exists at Maverick

Energy is one of the most cyclical sectors in US markets and one of the most tradeable when you understand the capital cycle. Maverick funds specialists here because the macro-fundamental linkage rewards expertise that doesn't translate from other sectors.
