ABOUT US
The United States Chart Company was established by legendary commodity educator Ken Roberts. Ken didn’t start out as a trading wizard. He was born into a lower middle-class neighborhood, and said he would have stayed there had he not been introduced to the business you will learn about here.
What Ken found changed his life, and he went on to spend nearly 25 years sharing his common-sense financial methods with over 500,000 individuals in more than 130 countries around the world. Worth Magazine credits Ken with introducing more people to the business of commodity trading than any other single individual in history.

Soon after he discovered commodities, Ken realized the tremendous potential they offered to help anyone achieve wealth and freedom. But back then there wasn’t much in the way of tools to help a trader along. So, when he first began showing other people how to trade, he pretty much had to invent his own curriculum and teaching methods.
The biggest problem was finding a dependable source of commodity charts — a must for the technical trader. And so Ken created The United States Chart Company, which, as far as we know, is the largest commodity chart service available anywhere in the world. Not only that, it’s the premier service in terms of the range of tools it offers.
Initially, Ken only published paper charts. But then, as the Internet came into existence, it became a whole new ballgame. When Ken developed US Charts Online, no one knew where it would lead. Ken liked the fact that it was so easy to go through electronic charts, and that prices could be updated throughout the day, but then the computer programmers went to work creating tool after tool to make charting easier and faster than ever. In other words, US Charts Online just kept getting better and better – and it continues to do so!
In May 2006 Ken decided to expand his horizons and do more writing, speaking, and consulting without the weight and responsibilities of a corporate structure. So he passed the company reins along to another fixture in the world of futures trading – The Commodity Research Bureau (CRB), creators of the world-famous CRB Index. CRB has ably taken over all operations, including the same solid-gold team of talented, capable people Ken hand-picked and trained to serve you all these many years!
So from the Course Members’ point of view, not much has changed at all – except that it’s all gotten even better! The US Charts team continues to dedicate itself to providing the same level of personal service they are known for throughout the industry, while working hard to develop ever greater tools and teaching methods.
