Remote Funded Small-Cap Equity Trader

What You'll Trade

US small-cap equities meeting minimum liquidity thresholds (average daily volume, dollar volume, bid-ask spread). Trades skew toward momentum continuation, breakouts from base structures, and post-earnings drift. We avoid hard-to-borrow names for short positions unless approved, and we exclude penny stocks under $5 entirely.

Day-to-Day

• Pre-market scans for small-cap movers — earnings reactions, sector momentum, catalyst-driven names
• Open: take or pass on opening drives based on defined setups, not impulse
• Mid-session: manage positions with awareness that small-cap liquidity disappears in volatile moves
• End of day: review the watchlist for setups developing for the next session

Risk Profile

Small-caps move 2–5x the volatility of large-caps; losses can run faster than stops execute. Maverick traders in this role are sized smaller per position than equivalent large-cap traders, use mental stops alongside hard stops to avoid stop-runs in thin names, and accept that some days the best trade is no trade.

Who Succeeds in This Role

• Traders who already trade small-caps and know the liquidity traps firsthand
• People who can cut losses without anchoring to the entry price
• Candidates who scan their own universe and don't rely on chat-room calls
• Traders comfortable with the higher emotional intensity of higher-volatility positions

Why This Role Exists at Maverick

Small-caps remain inefficient because institutional capital can't deploy size into them. Maverick funds traders who have the temperament and discipline to harvest that inefficiency without being destroyed by it.
