Breakout Equity Trader (Remote, Funded) — Tucson, AZ

A breakout equity trader at Maverick enters US equities on confirmed breakouts from defined base structures 902 typically multi-week consolidations resolving in the direction of the prior trend. The strategy rewards patience (most setups fail screening before they trigger) and decisiveness (when a setup triggers, hesitation costs entry price). It is one of the more classic, well-documented equity strategies, and the discipline required to run it well is significant.

Tucson, AZ: Tucson is anchored by the University of Arizona, Raytheon's defense operations, and a growing biomedical industry. The financial industry is smaller than Phoenix but Mountain Time alignment is identical and cost of living is meaningfully lower.

What you'll trade: US equities meeting liquidity and structure criteria 56 typically mid-cap and large-cap names with clean weekly base patterns. We avoid breakouts in the lowest-quality names where false breaks dominate. ETFs (sector and broad-market) for thematic breakout trades.

Risk framework: Breakout trading loses worst in choppy, range-bound markets where most setups fail. Maverick traders are sized small per individual trigger and rely on hit rate win-loss ratio to deliver expectancy across hundreds of trades, not on any single position.

Why Maverick funds this role: Breakout trading has produced more career traders than almost any other equity strategy. Maverick funds it because the framework is well-understood and the risk is well-defined the question is whether a given trader has the discipline to execute it through both the streaks and the slumps.
