Murray began his career on the Sydney Futures Exchange trading floor in 1993 with Swiss Banking Corporation (SBC). He spent a couple of years in the 3 and 10 year bond and option pits before moving on to the Share Price Index (SPI) futures and options pit. From there he became a broker with SBC specializing in SPI futures and options to institutional clients.
After leaving SBC Murray continued his career in broking at Bankers Trust Australia. Then in 2001 Murray moved to Melbourne to work as a hedge fund trader for one of Australia's wealthiest families. In 2003 he was ready to set up his own firm providing the same proprietary technical trading system to some of Australia's boutique hedge funds. The success of Murray's system led to him trading a $10 million account for a high net worth individual. This involved trading Australian and US futures and Australian stocks.
Murray now heads up the technical analysis desk for the Australian Daily Reckoning, passing on to readers some of his experience from 16 years of trading.
