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.
Boston, MA: Boston is the third-largest asset-management center in the US — Fidelity, State Street, MFS, Wellington, and Putnam are all headquartered here, and the mutual-fund industry as a category was largely invented in the city. Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean, and the academic ecosystem (Harvard, MIT, Boston University) feeds the local quant-trader labor market.
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.
- Traders who already have a rule-based iron condor framework and can articulate every decision in it
- People who can sit through tested strikes without flinching out of position
- Candidates comfortable with a strategy that wins often but takes occasional larger losses
- Traders who track win rate, average win, and average loss separately — not just net P&L
