I am a huge fan of Maverick, for a number of reasons:
1. I am coming to Maverick as a relative novice, but one who learns quickly. They have done a fabulous job of both supporting me and providing structure as I start to trade.
2. The people are absolutely amazing. Every single person I've talked to clearly loves to be here. Not only are they people who are good at trading, they are just good people.
3. The quality of the education and ongoing resources I've received is better than I've received anywhere else.
4. Their remote structure and incentive structure is by far the best of any prop trading firm I've seen. It's somewhat incredible to me that it exists in the way it does and I'm grateful I found and joined them.
5. They have been both very explicit and very fair about all fees charged.
Bottom line: I'm grateful I found and joined this firm and don't think anyone can do better.

I firmly recommend Maverick
I joined Maverick in August last year and while a I have a full-time job (sometimes long hours), it took me 4 months to complete all the training modules. The training program is very comprehensive, and I found all the information very helpful. I enjoyed learning and watching the videos which are very well explained (here a special award for Rob). When I needed help, they took time to answer all of my questions (Matt and Jade – for the first phase, Imre, Ankit, Corey and Joe – for the simulating and demo trading and trading platform setup). Now, I just started the live trading and I consider that Maverick is what I was looking for…. professional traders with a lot of knowledge, ready to share with all of us their view about the market every day (recorded videos at the end of the day) and a couple of times every week in live sessions with live setups (including every Sunday night when the new trading week starts). Plus, I like to say that, and I appreciate that very much… they are human being… not machines, not trading gurus.
Trading with Maverick I have access to Trader Workstation from Interactive Brokers which is, without doubts, a very powerful trading platform even though (I have to say) I personally don’t find it very friendly.
I read few reviews about Maverick being a scam because they took your money and give you back nothing. After 5 months with them, I strongly believe that it is not true. This is just a business.
If I will lose money it is just because of me.
There is an upfront fee of $3000 before you start the training program. Yes, it is a pretty big amount, but I think you start with the idea that you will make money from trading. After you will make $3000 profit for the firm (which means a total of $10000 profit), you will receive this money back as a reimbursement bonus.
After you are approved for the Capital Sharing Program there is a $2000 risk deposit. At this time Maverick will fund your live account with $4000 (for 2 consecutive profitable months) and then $10000.
If it is something I don’t like it is the monthly fee ($199/mo) which I consider that it is too much (at least now at the beginning when I don’t make too much money from trading).
Otherwise, the math is very simple for 2 extreme scenarios:
First scenario, the worst: If you lose the money no matter if it is on your own account or trading on Maverick account, the game is over.
Second scenario, the best: If you are a successful trader, you will make more money with Maverick Capital Sharing Program (even with that ugly monthly fee) than you will make on your own starting with $5000 (the money you have to pay from your pocket). Plus, you will get all the benefits mentioned above.
Overall so far, I received from Maverick all what I was told, I consider the business fair, so I firmly recommend Maverick for everybody who is looking to work with professional traders.

Maverick Trading
Maverick provides the structure and platform you need to trade at the professional level. It really does take time and dedication, and after you've invested yours you realize the amount that Maverick has done not only to help you, but hundreds of other traders. These are real people with real results, and I hope to stay a part of the community for a long time.

Very helpful and a great opportunity
Very helpful and a great opportunity! Yeah $200 a month is steep especially someone living pay check to paycheck but with what you get in return with the videos of market updates and live sessions when big news events come out to help you in the market is all worth it to me. Along with all the videos to help, the coaches are just a email away if you have any questions or concerns. As a single dad with a little almost 2 year old running around the house and working full time on the graveyard shift, believe me when I say anyone can become a trader and make it through the program. You just have to have the will power and dedication for the possibility of a different lifestyle and financial freedom. I say possibility because the opportunity is there, you just have to keep your head straight on your goals and want it. I just got approved for the capital program and I cant wait to start trading and watch all my hard work pay off. I still remember when I got a call from the recruiter back in July. I was doubtful at first but now looking back, I'm glad I made the decision.

I am new to Maverick Trading
I am new to Maverick Trading, I joined September 6th, 2019 after talking with Matthew Stephenson, right after the first phone call I knew this was the place for me, Matthew and I talked over the phone several times, and I eventually went to meet with them.
I was blown away at the level of knowledge they have. I have taken all the training mudules and Matthew assisted me when I had questions or needed some guidence. I really enjoyed the entire process and learned a ton along the way. Afer completing all the requirements I was up and running just 38 days after joining with my own live account trading Maverick capital.
I also enjoy the daily recap videos and live trading sessions Maverick provides.
Matthew was great to work with and I am confident in a long profitable relationship as a Maverick Trader!

I recently completed the Maverick…
I recently completed the Maverick training program to qualify for their Capital Sharing. It was a rigorous program that required hard work and determination. Many of the traders at Maverick were generous enough to offer their advice when ever I had a question. I look forward to growing with Maverick. I spent many years seeking the proper training and help and you wont find many places that offer a capital sharing program as well. Maverick is willing to invest in traders who are willing to invest in themselves.

I completed Maverick's FX trader…
I completed Maverick's FX trader program and I am about to start trading real money. Everything in the training at Maverick is very straight forward. You need to pass all the online courses and tests, practice on the simulator and develop your own trading plan. Personally, I felt the information on setups was very basic - bull and bear reversals, etc. I feel that a trader needs a bigger edge than some of these setups and it is up to the trader to develop their own trading style based on their personality. It takes a lot of hard work on your own and Maverick will not be there to hold your hand. Maverick is always there to help in any way possible but a lot has to be done on your own. If I had any questions, Ankit or others were always very responsive. I thought the training could include a little more detail on support and resistance as well as a little more on psychology. I really enjoyed how Robb explained what to expect in 10 trades which is important to make sure you have the right.

Their curriculum is really structured…
Their curriculum is really structured and well thought out. It was very easy to follow Maverick's step by step process, especially when learning such a complex instrument as options.
