Stock Trading & Financial Market Education
This is a legacy resource. Muscle Trading is no longer offering mentorship or new programs.
Understand market psychology and master your emotions.
A Personal Message From Tom
My Name is Tom Rooney and I am the Founder of Muscle Trading
I launched Muscle Trading Ltd. in 2016 to mentor aspiring traders in stock trading, technical analysis, and financial market fundamentals.
After having the opportunity to work with over 1,000 students and subscribers — and growing the platform internationally — I’ve since stepped away from active mentorship as of 2021.
The site remains live as a reflection of that journey and a free educational resource for those new to the markets.
Today, I focus on long-term investing, private ventures, and living life on my own terms. Muscle Trading was an important chapter – but I welcome meaningful conversations about entrepreneurship, mindset, and freedom.
While Muscle Trading is no longer offering live mentorship or new programs, l’ve kept several educational resources available for those looking to build foundational skills:
Free Educational Resources:
- Freshman Trading Series – FREE Course
- The Beginners Corner
- Trading Commentary Archive
Explore my X.com (formerly Twitter) and StockTwits archives, where I shared real-time market analysis, watchlists, and trading insights from 2016 – 2020. This collection offers a transparent look into my trading strategies, stock picks, and thought processes during that period. It remains a valuable resource for those looking to study real-world chart setups, trading psychology, and strategy evolution.
Lessons from Teaching & Trading:
- Trading success is 80% mindset, 20% method.
- Most people overestimate what they can achieve in 3 months and underestimate what they can do in 3 years.
- Simplicity, patience, and discipline win over hype every time.
Honoring What Was, Embracing What’s Next
I may occasionally blog or share insights here — but this site now serves as a personal archive and reflection.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Wishing you continued growth, fulfillment, and success in all that lies ahead.

What is a Security?
A security can be defined as a wide array of investments, such as bonds, stocks, notes, debentures, limited partnership interests, oil and gas interests, and investment contracts.
It is a legal contract that represents the rights of ownership of either some portion of a publicly traded company, some quantity of credit to a business or government body, some quantity of physical good or commodity or a derivative instrument.
4.
What is a Commodity?
Commodities are usually natural products that are used as preparatory inputs into more complex manufactured goods. Commodities are generally seen as interchangeable within their sub-class and grade.
For example, copper is one of the world’s most widely used commodities. Copper is rarely purchased as a final good and is instead used in various stages of the manufacturing of an extremely wide variety of products.
5.
What is a Derivative?
Derivatives are securities with prices that are dependent on, or derived from, one or more separate underlying assets. The derivative itself is a contract between two or more participants founded on these underlying assets.
Their value is determined by the fluctuation in the price of the underlying assets. The most common types of underlying asset are stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies, market indexes and interest rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these courses for beginners?
Absolutely! No prior experience with Trading is required. We start with the basics and build up to more advanced concepts and strategies.
How long are the courses?
Our two stock trading courses total nearly 5 hours of educational literature, while our crypto series is 1.5 hours of learning material.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion?
No there aren’t any certificates provided.
What if I have questions during the course?
This website is now a legacy archive. While support for purchased products is no longer available, feel free to explore our free resources – including our blog posts, and real-time trade commentary from 2016-2020 on X.com and StockTwits. Thank you for your understanding and support.
How long do I have access to a purchased course?
You will have access to the course material for one year.
How much money do I need to start trading?
That all depends on your risk tolerance. There is no set amount, but rather whatever you feel comfortable trading with. A good rule of thumb is If your goal is to make $100-$200 per week you might want to start with a $2000 account.
How soon could I start trading?
It is always recommended for a beginner to begin with paper-trading for several weeks or months until they feel comfortable entering the market with real money. A paper-trading account is essentially a trading practice-account which uses “virtual funds” that aren’t real. This allows perspective traders to sharpen their skills and gain confidence in their trading abilities.
What is your refund policy?
We are unable to offer refunds on our digital courses or personal mentorship program.
