If you are serious about becoming a professional trader and have the time and motivation to complete an intense, in-depth training curriculum with great instructors, consider joing Maverick Trading. You will learn the ins-and-outs of market dynamics, technical analysis, and a multitude of options strategies to use depending on market conditions and outlook. Sure, there is a $7K fee for the training, but it becomes fully refundable once you finish the program, have your trading plan approved, and generate the equivalent amount in returns based on an initial 70/30 split in profit with the firm. In other words, once you generate about $23,500 in gross profit, the firm will return your $7K investment. Provide a performance bond of $5K, and the firm will start you off with a $25K account to trade. Every staff member I've interacted with from the initial screening interview through the training program has been wonderful. I highly recommend the program/firm.

Real Firm, Real People!
I started with Maverick as I was looking for a more professional environment than what the mainstream 'online prop firms' are offering nowadays.
After several months of working with them I can only say positive things. I am now funded with real firm capital and the support from the Maverick is unmatched, from the educational material to the 1-on-1 sessions.
If you are serious about trading professionally, reach out to them and be ready to put in time and effort it. IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT !!!

"Fantastic Opportunity and Support for…
"Fantastic Opportunity and Support for Aspiring Traders!"
I've been trading with Maverick Trading for a while now, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Since joining, I've been impressed by the support and resources available to help traders succeed. Maverick provides a well-structured training program covering everything from technical strategies to trading psychology, which has improved my skills.
One of the unique aspects of Maverick Trading is that they allow traders to use firm capital, which reduces the risk on my end while still giving me the chance to earn a significant income. The profit-sharing structure is great—traders keep the majority of their profits, and there's even a performance bonus that rewards consistency.
The team is incredibly professional yet approachable. They genuinely care about their traders’ progress and are always willing to offer guidance. I also really appreciate the ongoing support for strategy development and risk management; it feels like I'm part of a community that wants me to succeed.
If you're looking for a proprietary trading firm that offers flexibility, comprehensive resources, and an environment where you can grow as a trader, I highly recommend Maverick Trading.

Maverick 5 months in
Hi All,
I have been working with Maverick currencies for approx. 5 months now and wanted to share a review of my experience for anyone who is considering joining them.
I learnt of Maverick through a podcast called The Trading Psychology Podcast which features a trader/author by the name of VP and is cohosted by Robb Reinhold from Maverick. The two of them discuss the psychological world of trading and the roller coaster of emotion you can expect when entering such a domain.
I was/am brand new to trading and only developed an interest after searching for ways to help a friend that was succumbing to all the stereotypical horror stories you find from those that enter markets to make a quick buck. As I learnt more the appeal of being able to apply a systematical approach to draw a future additional income appealed to my personality and I made the decision to apply any extra free time to learning how to develop my skills and understanding of the trading business.
Why Maverick – I was endeared to the nature in which the topics and content of the podcast were delivered. It felt to me a very honest account of what to expect and provided a wealth of considerations which I could apply focus to. I had the feeling that if I were to work for a company, I would want it to be with people like that, however until looking through the Maverick currencies site I had no idea of their desire to take on and mentor new traders.
There is a wealth of information you can learn for yourself online, however in my experience most was anchored into trying to sell you something, and so I thought it best to enter a community of experienced traders where the focus was for us to be mutually profitable.
The Interview – More of a getting to know one another to see if you are a suitable fit for each another. A very pleasant experience with everything laid out clearly and time given, after acceptance, to decide and make sure it is right for you. They also give you access to the training platform during this time so you can play around and experience how it all works. That really helped in my decision as it felt very well put together.
Training – There are a series of online modules and tests that you have to complete followed by time spent in a practice account. I found these very well put together and you are assigned coaches for the each of the progressing units who help and encourage you to not only learn their methods, but also create your own trading plan. Scheduling time with the coaches was easy and there was an abundance of times to choose from throughout the day. You do have to take the initiative with all of the help that is offered, nobody is going to be chasing you as are free to go at your own pace, however, help and assistance is always there whenever you request it.
Fees – I did hesitate for a moment prior to accepting their offer as there are reviews out there which talk of Maverick being a scam and a rip off in regard to the fees that are charged. In the end I decided to make my decision based on the experience I’d had with the people/company and not that of an unknown person ranting online. Yes, there are fees and dependent on your circumstance / perception these could appear high. My mindset is that this a long-term investment and I want to give myself the best possible chance of being successful. Maverick is a business, and they have to weigh out the risk/reward of taking on someone new that is unknown and unproven to them. I think the business model is incredibly smart and makes a lot of sense when you take it all into consideration. In my opinion It encourages, supports and rewards those that are willing to work and be disciplined in their trading career.
In conclusion I have no regret embarking on my trading journey with Maverick. The training and ongoing support has been incredible, and I feel like I'm progressing every day. If I were to do one thing differently, I would have started watching their daily currency recaps from the start vs after going live, although maybe that would have been information overload, who knows!

Maverick Trading - options trading
The process of becoming a funded trader with Maverick Trading is fast and smooth if you have the potential and will to make it. However, thinking you can easily dominate a $200 billion to $300 billion daily market is laughable. You have to give everything you've got to succeed, but the Maverick team will support you with their experience and knowledge. It’s a hard path to an easier life. In the end, the costs (which are not low) are just a drop in the ocean compared to the benefits you can gain. Don't forget that you will receive the initial fee back once you make enough profit.
To succeed in this quest, it's crucial to have knowledgeable people by your side. I recommend Maverick Trading to anyone who wants to gain knowledge and experience in this asymmetric field. Work smarter, not harder!

Maverick Trading - options trading
I joined Maverick Trading in December 2023 after learning about them through the "Trading Psychology" podcast. The head trader of Maverick is one of the hosts on the podcast, and I would highly recommend the podcast to anyone who is serious about trading. It was life changing for me and covers one of the most important parts of trading (your own psychology).
It took me 4 months to get through their training curriculum. I would like to caution others that how long it takes to get through the training is completely dependent on each individual's trading experience and motivation. I would consider myself more advanced than the average trader when it comes to trading different options strategies, and it took me about 2 months to go through their training material and develop my trading plan. Once I submitted my trading plan, I began to demo trade for another 2 months.
At the end of my demo trading period, I became a funded trader as promised. I thoroughly enjoy having access to trading coaches, where I have worked with Joe so far during my demo trading.
I would recommend traders who would like to focus on options trading and would appreciate having the support of the firm whenever you need through coaching sessions, they are a great group of people and I look forward to continuing to work with them.
