About Me

Stacks Image 957
I’m a trading and investing expert who specializes in stocks, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and futures, with a particular focus on US markets. I trade my own accounts using trend-following, swing trading, and day trading strategies, but my preferred method is Weekly Trend Following, and that's the style I recommend for retail traders and investors.

I also provide education and tools to other traders and investors so they can enter the markets with the clarity and confidence needed to monetize market moves and fulfill their financial ambitions to pursue a lifestyle which is financially independent.

Like most successful private traders, I struggled in the markets before I eventually developed the necessary techniques and strategies to become consistently profitable in such a challenging and fast-moving environment.

My tools and methods are used by professional investors and traders on a daily basis. I’ve spent many years (and a lot of money) gathering the information on this website and I will share everything with you. There is no secret I keep for myself - you get it all.

I’ve presented in-person classes to traders and investors in Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands, and I host monthly on-line meetings for Subscription Clients. My articles have appeared in major international financial publications and I’m a regular presenter on the MoneyShow® in the US. I'm the author of ‘Way of the Trader - A Complete Guide to the Art of Financial Trading’, which was published in the US, UK, India, and China.

I’m based in Limerick, Ireland but I travel a lot (one of the advantages of working from a laptop 😎).

(Please note, I am not an authorized investment advisor, and I do not handle client’s funds)

About You

Trying to teach ourselves to trade without professional guidance is an expensive and time-consuming process. Many beginners spend years going round in circles with nothing to show for their efforts except confusion and frustration, not to mention a depleted trading account.
If you’re a beginner who wants to earn extra income from trading the markets, or an experienced investor looking for a reliable investing strategy (or an independent and honest review of your stock portfolio), I know I can help!

My Background

Stacks Image 820
After college in Ireland, Ian Murphy trained in electronics and lived in mainland Europe and Central America. He worked in the insurance claims and metal recycling industries, eventually specializing in precious metals. This brought him to the financial markets, and he has been an active trader ever since.

Murphy studied various aspects of trading with industry professionals in the US, including psychology with Dr. Alexander Elder and technical analysis with Kerry Lovvorn. Ian is now a financial trading consultant who trades his own account using trend-following, swing-trading and day-trading strategies.

Murphy Financial Trading was established in April 2016 to offer education, analysis and tools to traders. Way of the Trader was published three years later and editions for the Indian Subcontinent and China were published in 2020. Also that year, an Online Trading Course, webinars and trading notes were offered to subscription clients. Personal consultations via one-to-one Video calls can also be arranged.
