Iron Condor Specialist (Remote, Funded Options Trader) — Fresno, CA

An iron condor specialist at Maverick runs a focused book of defined-risk, range-bound options structures — primarily iron condors, with occasional double diagonals or butterflies when the volatility environment calls for them. The discipline is narrow on purpose: traders who do one thing well, repeatedly, with strict management rules, are exactly the profile we fund.

Fresno is the agricultural capital of the country and one of the most affordable metros in California by a meaningful margin. The financial industry is small but Pacific Time alignment matches the rest of the state.

What you'll trade: Iron condors on SPX, NDX, RUT, and a watchlist of high-liquidity ETFs and large-cap names. Cycle selection is typically 30–60 days to expiration; some traders also run a weekly book on indices. Strike selection is delta-based, not arbitrary, and follows a documented framework.

Risk framework: Iron condors lose worst in fast, one-directional moves and in vol spikes. Maverick caps max loss per cycle, total open-cycle risk, and concentration in any single underlying. We don't size for a normal market; we size for the bad months, knowing they show up roughly once a year.

Why Maverick funds this role: Iron condors are one of the most popular retail options strategies — and one of the most consistently mismanaged. Maverick funds traders who do this strategy professionally: with proper sizing, disciplined adjustments, and the math worked out across the full distribution of outcomes, not just the best case.
