What are the responsibilities and job description for the Junior Funded Trader — Sitka, AK position at Maverick Currencies?
Maverick Currencies is hiring a Junior Funded Trader based in Sitka, AK. This is a remote, performance-based opportunity — we fund qualified US traders with up to $400,000 in firm capital and split profits 60% to 90% depending on performance tier.
Why Sitka, AK
Based in Sitka? The trading day lands at a workable hour. The Pacific time zone gives you the longest viable FX day in the US — the Asian close, the full European session, and the New York open all unfold through the morning, with peak liquidity hitting before lunch. It's a quietly efficient base for someone serious about treating trading as a profession.
Alaska's position in the Pacific zone (with a one-hour offset much of the year) gives traders an unusual advantage: the New York session opens at 5:30am local, and by lunch the bulk of the high-volume day is done. For traders who prefer their afternoons free, no other US state offers a cleaner schedule.
What You'll Do
This is a performance-based contract role. Traders earn through a profit split on returns they generate — typically 60% to 90% depending on experience and performance tier. Estimated annual earnings range from $50,000 to $200,000 for consistently profitable traders. Compensation is not a fixed salary or hourly wage; your earnings depend entirely on your trading results. Those who cannot trade profitably will not earn income from this role.
Common Questions
Q: How do I apply?
A: Through the application form linked on this page. The process starts with a short application, followed by a conversation about whether the program is the right fit for your situation and goals. We don't pressure-sell — if it isn't a fit, we'll say so.
Q: Do I need a finance background?
A: No. Most of our successful traders come from outside finance entirely — engineering, the trades, the military, teaching, sales. Pattern recognition and discipline transfer well into trading; a degree in finance does not, particularly.
