In that capacity Greg educated institutional and individual clients on the merits of technical analysis and why Stadion utilizes a technical rules-based model. Greg oversaw the management of over $6 Billion in assets in six mutual funds, separate accounts, and retirement plans. From December, 2003 to May, 2005, Greg served as a Trustee and advisor to the MurphyMorris ETF Fund. He also served as Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer of MurphyMorris Money Management Co, the Advisor to the Fund. Greg currently writes a blog on StockCharts.com called Dancing with the Trend.
Greg has written three books with McGraw-Hill; The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators, a book introducing market breadth analysis for investors, a third edition (original edition in 1992) to his best-selling and vastly expanded Candlestick Charting Explained was released in March, 2006, and Candlestick Charting Explained Workbook, which was published in December, 2011. Greg recently completed his fourth book, “Investing with the Trend – A Rules-based Approach to Money Management” published by John Wiley under the Bloomberg Press label. This is a book about the flaws of modern finance, research on risk and trend analysis, and how to build a rules-based trend following model. In 2011, Greg produced Japanese Candlestick Pattern Recognition software for MetaStock. This is an add-on package that not only offers automatic identification of real patterns, but provides a sophisticated trend analysis measure and automatic support and resistance identification.
Greg was a member of the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) where he was chairman of the Wagner Paper Contest, the American Association of Professional Technical Analysts (AAPTA), and the Market Technician’s Association (MTA). During college he was a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
From 1996 to 2002, Greg was CEO of MurphyMorris.Inc., the leading provider of web-based market analysis tools, education, and commentary. MurphyMorris, Inc. was acquired by StockCharts.com, Inc. in October, 2002. In 1999, Greg and three associates started MurphyMorris Money Management Co. to manage assets for individuals. This focus was later changed to address the firm becoming the Advisor to the MurphyMorris ETF Fund in January, 2004, and later merged into the Stadion (PMFM) family of funds.
From 1994 to 1996, he was President of G. Morris Corporation, a Dallas, Texas headquartered business that provided products and services for investors and traders. His lead product was a series of over 450 Indicators & Trading Systems that supported most windows-based technical analysis software packages. From 1993 to 1994, Greg was part of MarketArts, Inc. which launched the first windows-based technical analysis software program, Windows on Wall Street.
In 1992 he published a book on Japanese candlestick analysis called CandlePower, now available in soft cover as Candlestick Charting Explained (McGraw-Hill). Widely recognized as an expert on candlesticks and the developer of candlestick filtering, he has lectured around the world on the subject. From 1982 until 1993, he worked in association with N-Squared Computing, producing over 15 technical analysis and charting software titles, many of which are actively used today. In May, 1989, he was awarded outstanding alumni for 1989 from Pratt County College.
Greg earned his pilot’s license in 1967 and flew many versions of Cessna (Cessna 150 maximum takeoff weight = 1,500 pounds) and Mooney single-engine aircraft. During his 7 years as a Navy pilot he flew the T2-C Buckeye, A-4J Skyhawk, and his favorite military jet, the F-4J Phantom. While in the Navy, he logged over 240 carrier landings (103 at night) and exceeded twice the speed of sound.

With his private pilot time, the Navy fighter pilot career (1971 – 1978), and airline career he accumulated 21,000 hours of flying time, and as he likes to say, never put a scratch on an airplane.
