Before Chuck Hughes won 10 U.S. Trading Championships, he was an accomplished Air Force pilot.
In fact, he credits his success as a stock and options trader to his disciplined upbringing and career. When he was deciding between a career in the Navy and a career in the Air Force, the Navy told him he’d only have a 33% chance of flying fighter jets.
The Air Force gave him 100%. He liked those odds better.
Around 30 years ago, Chuck was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, which commonly leads to vertigo. He knew his career as a pilot wouldn’t last much longer with those odds.
So he used his experience in discipline and math, and his understanding of finance and the stock markets (which he’d always been interested in,) and placed a single trade with only $4,600 in his brokerage account.
He snowballed those earnings into $460,000 over the next two years, and he hasn’t looked back since.
As an options trader, Chuck does not let his emotions get in the way of his trading strategy. He adheres to disciplined and methodical options and stock trades. In fact, he often explains his trade management system right alongside his PowerTrend Options system.
Because he respects the options game so highly, and understands the true freedom that financial solvency can bring, Chuck was able to design and refine his system and win those 10 trading championships — more than any previous contestant has won.
Put simply, Chuck Hughes’ trading strategies work, and in all types of market conditions. They’ve worked throughout the bull, bear, and sideways markets America has seen in the last 30 years.
Chuck Hughes has spent that time building a reputation as one of the most trustworthy options traders in the industry. His publishing group Legacy Publishing LLC was one of the few trading groups on the planet to have correctly predicted and profited from the 2008 financial crash.
As a published author many times over, a 10-time U.S. Trading Championship winner, and an options-trading teacher for 25 years, he’s learned to trade and teach without an ego.
