The Alphatrends Method

Principles built on price, not predictions

With over 35 years of trading, Alphatrends CEO Brian Shannon has distilled the approach that works into a few stubborn principles. They’re simple to remember, repeatable, and the backbone of everything we teach.

Principle #1

The markets don’t take a day off, and neither do we. Every trading day, members get fresh chart breakdowns and real-time commentary they can actually use, not vague predictions or rehashed headlines.

Principle #2

We’re not chasing lottery tickets. We identify setups where the reward outweighs the risk and the odds are stacked in your favor, the kind of trades that compound an account over time instead of testing your nerves.

Principle #3

Capital preservation isn’t a footnote, it’s the foundation. Every setup we teach starts with a clearly defined risk, because the traders who last are the ones who know exactly what they’re willing to lose before they ever enter a position.

The tools

behind the method
The tools behind the method

Multiple timeframes

Reading a stock across multiple timeframes, from the monthly chart down to the daily, reveals the bigger picture most traders miss when they zoom in too far.

Anchored VWAP

Brian's signature tool for objectively measuring whether buyers or sellers have the upper hand from any key pivot.

Moving Averages (MAs)

Cut through day-to-day noise,reveal the trend underneath. MAs help identify direction, confirm strength, and define logical levels for entries, exits, and stops

Price Action:
Only Price Pays!™

News stories, earnings hype, and "good company" narratives don't move your account balance. Act on what the chart is telling you, not what the talking heads are selling.
