Chuck Kowalski
Chuck Kowalski started his career in the futures markets in 1994 trading, advising clients, working with high net worth traders and investors and educating traders. Today, Chuck has retired from his the industry. Now, he is able to devote his efforts to reach a wider range of futures traders that don't necessarily have the large portfolios and expertise of a typical client. Chuck feels this is an undeserved market that is in dire need of learning the proper ways of trading with the proper guidance.
