Once our traders pass a few tests, they gain access to firm capital — from $25,000 initially to millions
The “Maverick Way” focuses on high-probability trading strategies with strict risk and money management. We don't fret over the outcome of any individual trade since we know that — over time — we will end up with a profitable batch of trades as long as the statistics are in our favor.
To trade the “Maverick Way” our traders utilize the best trading setups, risk-management strategies, position-sizing methodology, and impeccable training, which is why we allow them to trade for the firm. However, before they are allowed to become traders for the firm, they must fulfill the three (3) requirements below.
Demonstrate understanding of the “Maverick Way” trading principles that we teach. Each quiz must be passed in the series to verify that our traders have a firm understanding of the principals of the stock and options markets and Maverick Trading's strategies and techniques.
A non-existent or poor business plan is the number #1 reason that businesses fail. Our traders are required to develop and submit a clearly defined trading plan that covers all aspects of trading from entry points, position sizing, position management, capital management and minimum monthly goals. This helps our traders trade as a business and treat this as their profession.
Each trader must demonstrate their ability to trade and execute their trading plan within a Maverick Trading demo account. For experienced traders, we can accept and evaluate live trading statements for accelerated approval. We want to make sure that our traders can successfully implement the trading plans they develop.
The Maverick Way isn't a single indicator or a secret signal — it's a complete, repeatable framework for trading firm capital as a professional. Every trader who joins the firm is trained in the same core disciplines so that results come from process, not luck.
We size and manage every position around what we're willing to lose before we ever think about the upside. Strict, pre-defined risk on each trade means no single loss can jeopardize the account — the foundation of trading a firm's capital responsibly.
Our traders wait for well-defined, high-probability setups with favorable risk-to-reward ratios rather than chasing every move. Over a large enough sample of trades, a positive statistical edge does the heavy lifting.
Disciplined position sizing keeps risk consistent across every trade and every market condition. Money management rules protect gains and cap drawdowns so traders can stay in the game long enough for their edge to compound.
A written trading plan, minimum monthly goals, and honest review of results turn trading from a hobby into a profession. That mindset is why we're willing to back qualified Maverick traders with firm capital.
