Top tips from this episode

  • System premise – One of the key points Murray came back to a number of times was understanding the premise of a system. In fact, Murray said ‘I think the premise is the most important part of a system’ and that there’s lots of methods that can be robust as long as there’s an underlying strong theory, so when you build a trading system you need to have a valid premise, you need to understand the underlying theory of things and you need to understand your methodology enough to trust it.
  • Intermarket analysis – Another component Murray focused on was intermarket analysis because he said ‘I think one of the most important areas in trading is intermarket analysis’. In his book he covered intermarket analysis, that book was published 20 years ago and the strategy still works today so it’s a very robust method.
