Remote Funded Tech Sector Momentum Trader

What You'll Trade

US tech equities across the cap spectrum: mega-cap leaders for stability and option liquidity, mid-cap semis and software for momentum, and selective small-cap names with real fundamental stories rather than meme volume. Sector ETFs (XLK, SOXX, IGV, SMH) for thematic exposure and hedging.

Day-to-Day

• Morning: scan the sector for relative-strength leaders and laggards versus QQQ and SOXX
• Identify entries on momentum continuation setups — pullbacks to rising moving averages, breakouts from base structures
• Manage existing positions with trailing stops; tech volatility means winners need room and losers need to be cut fast
• Track earnings calendar within the sector — concentration risk is high during tech earnings weeks

Risk Profile

Tech is a high-beta sector — concentrated tech books move 1.5–2x the S&P on bad days. Maverick caps sector concentration at the portfolio level and requires either defined hedges (puts, ETF shorts) or smaller individual position sizes to compensate. We do not run leveraged-tech books.

Who Succeeds in This Role

• Traders who already read tech earnings, product launches, and conference circuits as part of their daily routine
• People who can distinguish a real fundamental story from a momentum chase
• Candidates who understand sub-sector rotation — semis lead, software follows, etc.
• Traders comfortable with high volatility and high single-day drawdowns

Why This Role Exists at Maverick

Tech is the most-traded sector in US markets and one of the most volatile. Maverick funds focused tech traders because concentrated expertise in a single sector — knowing the names, the cycle, the customers — outperforms diversified-but-shallow approaches.
