The Alphatrends Method
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Brian's signature tool for objectively measuring whether buyers or sellers have the upper hand from any key pivot.
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
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.
I have used charts and technical analysis for more than thirty years and during that time I’ve tried a gazillion combinations and methods.
Anchored VWAP is a tool all serious investors and traders should become familiar with and incorporate in their decision-making process.
Alphatrends uses real time examples to illustrate it's core guiding principles, emphasizing risk management and the need to make trades "your own".
Brian Shannon is a no nonsense, down to earth and highly credible active trader and teacher. Genuinely a content rich opportunity.
Innovation is rare in technical analysis as the field has been worked intensively for a long time and the low hanging fruit is long gone.
[Anchored VWAP] is a real innovation and Brian Shannon is the analyst to tell you what it is and how to use it.
VWAP has been the biggest change that I’ve seen in my 30 years on the trading floor, as brokers prioritized volume over price.
Brian has encapsulated that change through his AVWAP research and applied it on multiple time frames.... I’m so happy he has shared his process with the world.
I have been a member for about 5 years. It took me a few years to figure out my own trading style while learning and making money.
Brian has been consistent and has great recommendations. He helps everyone to develop their own style as well as explain what he does and why. Thanks Brian! You have changed my life.
