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 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.

Maverick Trading Review
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience with Maverick Trading during orientation and throughout the training program. Both Jade and Jeff were very informative and helpful during the initial stages of the on-boarding process. I collaborated and interacted with Robb, Joe and Vincent as part of Maverick's coaching and mentoring program; each of these individuals are experienced and intelligent. Their expertise and assistance simplified the process of developing a trading plan. I look forward to an exciting and lucrative future with Maverick. Keep up the good work Maverick Trading.

it is about the people
it's about the people, after all a business is just paper unless there are people working it to make it special. Maverick is just that . the people there from the top down work hard to make you feel you belong and can succeed at doing this. their training is good and personal coaching is just a phone call away even the top dog will answer questions- even dumb ones.

Commitment + Maverick = Success
From the very beginning, starting with Matt, Jade, and Imre I felt like I was being included in not just a massive community of traders, but more like a family of practitioners - all intent on making each other successful.
I'll admit, I was skeptical about a training curriculum that I viewed as being entirely video-based, but quickly found that my assigned support team, combined with the incredibly informative training materials turned self-doubt into confidence as I approached live trading.
Maverick's approach is very deliberate, methodical and backed by empirical data and statistics - which is no doubt the reason the firm has been so successful, for so long. As if I wasn't already impressed enough by the support from the aforementioned team when I began communicating with my permanent coach, Corey, I was blown away. There is serious talent within the firm, and the best part is that it is there to help all Maverick traders achieve their goals. Corey, Robb and Joe are incredible teachers, which when combined with the firm's seemingly endless knowledge of Forex Trading, helps me truly understand what I need to be focused on, and how I can constantly improve my own trading procedures and setups.
Overall, I consider my choice to join Maverick one of my best life decisions. Thank you to all the Maverick team that has helped and continues to guide me going forward.

I'm currently in training with Maverick…
I'm currently in training with Maverick Options division (they have options, forex & futures divisions).
I've been studying the markets since 2010. I've gone through other "systems" that just simply didn't work.
Maverick's system of trading makes sense. They constantly are saying, "this isn't a science", but their thorough system makes it seem like they have it broken down like a science.
Market Analysis:
It's 3 guys that give a breakdown of the markets after every day (Robb, Corey, and Joe) -they alternate day by day. I honestly can't imagine a clearer breakdown of the markets, with their knowledge in technicals, economic reports, futures, keeping up with the news, including knowing what's going on with company news, etc.
Their system:
Considering what type of market we're currently in, Maverick makes sure you develop a trading plan that ensures a portfolio structure that will have you strive in that market. The training process ensures you know exactly how much to allocate per trade (position sizing) based on your Win/Loss percentage, while considering how much damage your account could withstand in worst case scenarios.
Option Strategies:
Maverick teaches you what type of option strategy to use based on the charts, relying mainly on price movement & volume (and using some secondary indicators). Not only what strategy, but also which option expirations to be using too, including which strike prices to use, considering the option greeks.
Scam?
There are some reviews online that say the company is a scam. I think the reason they say it's a scam is because they don't understand this is a part time/full time career. It's going to take time & effort to understand the system and to practice it. Accept it -it'll be worth it...Another reason you may think/hear it's a scam is because of the initial $ you have to put up. It makes sense though why you need to do this. You trade with an expected possible drawdown of 20% of the account. This is what you put into your account & this is the amount that you have at risk. The company (along with all the training & coaching) provides you with additional capital to trade with. It makes sense that you put at risk your own money. Think about it. How's that a scam? lol. Like I said before, they teach you what your position sizing should be, which considers for any worst case scenarios.
Overall, this is a great company. I'll be surprised to hear about a more thorough system with a community of traders that know how to analyze the markets better than Maverick.
Hope this review helps,
Robert

Maverick Trading offers a proven method…
Maverick Trading offers a proven method to help get you started on the right path to achieving profitability in options trading. The principals themselves coach you through the training program. These are incredibly skilled individuals who have a vested interest in your success. Not a program for the hobbiest or speculator. Something I would definitely recommend if you are serious about committing time and effort and willing to learn trading the right way.
