Trading Instructor
Chuck Fulkerson
Equities, Technical Analysis Strategies, Platform Immersion and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
Chuck's background is in the hospitality industry, specifically restaurant management. During his career in the hospitality field,
Chuck realized that in order for him truly excel and reach his life goals he was going to have to make some serious changes. Chuck
began his trading career in 2006, primarily focusing on the options arena and became proficient enough in trading through the use of
options that he was able to leave his career and focus on learning and mastering the financial markets. While in the restaurant
industry, Chuck was one of the best at teaching others how to successfully run their own business and decided to translate that into a
career teaching people how to better manage their own finances.
Chuck graduated from California University of Pennsylvania with a degree in computer science in the year 2000. Part of that
education lends well to trading as he has a very logical and systematic approach to trading the markets. Aside from trading and
coaching other traders, Chuck has hosted a variety of trading radio programs and was a speaker at the International Money Show in
2009.

"I have to be honest: I had my doubts about Online Trading Academy. I have been looking for education that would give me the proper
foundation and continuing knowledge to be confident and truly successful trading the market. I tried books, watching CNBC, even the Certified Financial
Planning certification program at Boston University (which I determined would not give me what I need well before finishing the program). Online Trading
Academy gave me what I was looking for in other areas, and more! Chuck is an amazing instructor. He's easy to follow and makes it exceptionally easy to ask
questions, which is vital!"
