Maverick Trading is hiring a fully remote Equity & Options Trader open to applicants in Cairns, Australia.
We are a 25+ year proprietary trading firm that allocates firm capital to disciplined traders and scales buying power based on performance and risk management.
Trading from Oceania:
US markets run through your overnight hours — the NYSE opens at 12:30am AEST.
Many of our Asia-Pacific traders structure trades the prior session and manage positions during a focused window.
Oceania trades US markets overnight from your perspective — the NYSE opens early morning your local time.
Many of our Australian and New Zealand traders structure their trades the prior session and manage positions in a focused early-morning window.
