Welcome
to the Chuck Hughes Website
!
 Carrying
a trading position at ground level is
tough enough. At 30,000 feet, it can be
downright nerve-wracking.
No one knows that better than Chuck
Hughes. When he started trading in 1984,
Hughes was a full-time commercial
airline pilot. Monitoring his trading
positions from the cockpit was not an
option. "It was frustrating at times,"
he said. "I would have to wait until the
evenings to get my price quotes."
Hughes' profession is actually what led
him to trading in the first place. His
schedule of 15 to 17 days off each month
created a void, and trading was the
perfect answer. Success came quickly as
Hughes finished 10th in the 1985 United
States Trading Championship and 3rd in
the 1986 competition with a whopping
260% return.
Chuck has accumulated titles in the
Systems Trading Division of the World
Cup Championship of Futures Trading®
in 1994 and 1995 and the Day Trading
Division in 1995 and the Professional
Division in 1999. In the World Cup
Championship of Stock Trading™
he finished first in 2007, second in
2006, first in 2005 and third in 2003.

Chuck has been trading for 24 years and
his trading strategies have produced
more than four million dollars of actual
profits during all types of market
conditions. When he is not trading or
writing educational courses, Chuck finds
time to maintain a 4.0 league
tennis rating and competes in 5K running
events. But his mind is not very far
from the challenge of trading. "I get
some of my best trading ideas while
running," he says.
