Murray had some interesting ideas, and I always enjoyed talking with him, even though we disagreed on some things (like equity curve trading).

Thanks Murray for turning me on to intermarket strategies - since 2014 I've been trading a bond strategy based on his work - still going strong!

He will be missed.
