Remote Funded Vertical Spread Options Trader

What You'll Trade

Vertical spreads across single-name US equity options and index options. Debit spreads for directional trades on liquid mid- and large-caps. Credit spreads (bull put, bear call) for range and income views. We do not run unlimited-risk structures from this role.

Day-to-Day

• Morning: review existing positions, identify those approaching short-strike tests or profit targets
• Scan for new entries against a directional or neutral thesis — supported by chart, fundamentals, or both
• Execute spreads as a single order with limit pricing; never leg into a vertical
• Manage to mechanical rules: take profit at defined fraction of max gain, close at defined loss multiple

Risk Profile

Vertical spreads cap loss at the width of the spread minus the premium received (credit) or paid (debit). That defined-risk feature is the role's main attraction. Maverick still caps per-position notional, total open vertical risk, and correlation across positions.

Who Succeeds in This Role

• Traders who prefer the simplicity of a defined structure over complex multi-leg combinations
• People who want options exposure without the complexity of naked premium or calendars
• Candidates new to professional options trading — verticals are an excellent foundation role
• Traders who can resist widening spreads to chase higher premium or trade larger size

Why This Role Exists at Maverick

Verticals are the cleanest first professional options strategy. Maverick funds traders here both as a primary role for traders specializing in spreads and as a stepping-stone for traders developing into more complex options strategies.
