Pros

You get exposed to options trading I guess. This is a contractor position not a job with the company. You do the work, you make the money, you pay the expenses, you make actual trades, and they take the profits.

Cons

This company bills itself on trading their money. The details are in the fine print. Reviewing their 1 hour video which one of the guy's voices could not really be tolerated they go on to explain that you need to drop 5K into their account as a "risk deposit" and you can withdrawal at anytime. What the video does not tell you is that you need to increase this "deposit" on the line of 4:1. That means if you are at the level of trading 400K then you have to have on "deposit" 160K so I was told. However I was then told to through training was 6K. Then 200 per month after that. This does not include other expenses like your account expenses etc. The company is said to been around since like 1997 however this could be circumspect. If you are at the level of trading 400K you shouldn't be with this company at all.

We are sorry one of our voices grated on you. In full disclosure we did the entire video on helium so we can see how you could feel that way. You are correct that this is an independent contractor position and you are also correct the trader will be managing their own book with their own trading strategy. The profit splits are between 70-80% to to trader and the firm keeps the rest.

Pros

Joined Maverick upon completion of graduate school and wanted the freedom and flexibility of very low expenses and ability to live anywhere and trade. Really great group of traders who will mentor you, fun group of guys. The firm doesn't take commission splits from trades that traders place, which keeps your best interest in mind (profitability). Firm only generates profits if your overall account is profitable with placing trades. Which is very hard to find these days! There are no limits on how much capital traders can trade with and your not limited to placing a certain amount of trades and can essentially trade your own strategy, time-frames etc. Just from the trade alerts the company sends out, one can easily generate substantial returns.

Cons

From the beginning Maverick has continually developed and progressed in terms of trader support and ease in obtaining capital. Bright futures ahead for Maverick and its traders!
