Equity Day Trader (Remote, Funded) — Boston, MA

An equity day trader at Maverick takes positions in US-listed stocks and closes them by the end of the same session. The role exists for traders who think in tape - order flow, relative volume, intraday levels, and the rhythm of the open and close - and who prefer the discipline of starting each day flat. We allocate firm capital, set risk parameters per trader, and pay a profit split on net intraday P&L.

Boston, MA: Boston is the third-largest asset-management center in the US - Fidelity, State Street, MFS, Wellington, and Putnam are all headquartered here, and the mutual-fund industry as a category was largely invented in the city. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean, and the academic ecosystem (Harvard, MIT, Boston University) feeds the local quant-trader labor market.

What you'll trade: Primarily liquid US equities: large-cap names with tight spreads, high-volume mid-caps, and selectively the most liquid small-caps. We discourage thin tickers, hard-to-borrow shorts, and pre-earnings positioning unless the trader has explicit approval for an earnings-driven strategy. Most day traders here run a watchlist of 10-40 names rather than chasing every gapper.

Risk framework: Day trading at Maverick is intentionally conservative on a per-trade basis. We do not run hero traders. A typical day trader risks a small fraction of allocated capital on any single idea, sizes positions off pre-defined stop levels, and is measured on consistency over a quarter - not on the best week or the worst week. Daily loss limits are firm and enforced.

Why Maverick funds this role: Most day-trading paths in retail are funded by selling courses, evaluations, or subscriptions. Maverick is the opposite: we make money only when our traders do. The day-trader role is one of the most rule-bound at the firm, which is intentional - intraday markets punish discretion more than any other timeframe, and disciplined process is the difference between a viable career and a slow drain.

• Traders who can stay flat for hours when the tape isn't offering anything
• People who already journal their trades and review them honestly
• Candidates with experience trading their own capital - even if at small size
• Traders who can articulate why they took a trade, not just what happened after
