Equity swing traders at Maverick hold positions for several days to several weeks. The role is suited to traders who think in trends and base structures rather than ticks, and who prefer a routine that doesn't require chair time at the open. Swing traders typically review overnight, plan in the morning, and check in at key points during the session.
Los Angeles, CA: Los Angeles is the second-largest financial center in the country by a number of measures - Capital Group, TCW, PIMCO, Oaktree, and dozens of independent funds are headquartered in the LA/Pasadena/Newport Beach corridor. Pacific Time means the market opens before most of LA wakes up; the trade-off is a clean afternoon free by 1pm. Many of our West Coast traders prefer this rhythm explicitly.
What you'll trade: US equities across the cap spectrum, with a bias toward names that have clean, tradable chart structure and a clear catalyst path over the next several weeks. Earnings exposure is allowed but managed - many swing traders here trim into earnings or hedge with options. Hard-to-borrow short positions require approval.
Risk framework: Swing trading carries overnight gap risk - earnings, news, and Asia-session reactions. Maverick swing traders cap exposure per name, cap correlated-sector exposure across the book, and run a portfolio-level drawdown limit. Position sizing is meaningfully smaller than what most retail swing traders run because we're protecting firm capital across a portfolio, not maximizing a single trade.
Why Maverick funds this role: Swing trading is structurally one of the most viable independent trading paths - the math of overnight returns and the lighter time demands fit more lifestyles than day trading. Maverick funds swing traders because the strategy scales well: firm capital can be deployed across more names, and the per-trader risk burden is more distributed than in intraday work.
Traders who can sit through a position drawing down 1-2 sessions without panicking out People comfortable with rule-based entries and exits - not gut feel Traders who understand sector and market context, not just individual chart patterns Candidates who prefer a calmer daily rhythm than intraday work
