First of all, they are real company providing fund. But it is not the place for a newbie to learn how to trade, the cost is high, the result could be random. Only if you have mature enough strategy working for 1-2 years, and you can handle the cost ($7k one time membership fee + $5k deposit + $199 monthly fee), you can go for it. Drawdown limit is also required, so it is more difficult than your own trading account.

I rarely write reviews but understand how important it is to read them in your decision making. I hope I can give some detail on my experience to help anyone reading this. I recently 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 mindset. After you complete all the courses and download IB, you are ready to start the demo process for 2 months to show you can be a consistent/profitable trader. This is the true test to see how your trading will go. You will make mistakes because trading is not easy but you have to learn from your mistakes and keep getting better. This process could take longer for some people, it just depends on the individual. 2 months is the minimum amount of time they require to move on to trading real money. I had experience going into this process and I have never tried another prop firm. I can't speak about other firms and the training compared to others but everything up to this point has been exactly how they have presented it to me. I hope everything moving forward goes smooth.

They helped me take my trading to a new level. Very supportive not only in trading, but with personal issues as well. Started trading live this month.

As a single dad, I was looking for a way to fund my kids' college funds. I've used the techniques I learned at Maverick to grow their Coverdells and my oldest is attending NC State without student loans. This last year I started using their strategies to hedge the market risk for my crops. Being at Maverick has allowed me to rent out several of my fields so I can spend more time with my kids at a very important time.

This is a second career for me, so I really wanted someone to be able to guide me through the process. Pauline was great getting me settled in to the firm and Joe was always able to answer my questions and explain the concepts that I was having a hard time with. When you get approved to trade live, you feel this mix of accomplishment, responsibility, and nerves because you're going to be trading their capital. Thanks for the guidance you gave me and the trust you put in me.

Straightforward process. Qualification program is linear with clearly defined milestones and expectations. Approval for Capital Sharing is as advertised. Getting more trading capital is just a matter of consistency. My recommendation is to find a way to make profit payouts same-day but getting them via direct deposit in two days is fine.

I wish I'd found Maverick Trading sooner. I spent over $20k learning to trade at another place and didn't get a fraction of the support I get now at Maverick. You're trading their capital, so they are extremely interested in having you trade the right way, meaning a step by step process and constantly managing the risk. I was a little bent out of shape when I wanted to try a new strategy and they made me show how I was going to manage the change in risk, but that process actually uncovered some holes in my strategy and they worked with me to fix my methods and actually decrease the risk I was taking.
