I have used charts and technical analysis for more than thirty years and during that time I’ve tried a gazillion combinations and methods. Currently, I invite the best Wall Street technicians on my show to share their knowledge and Brian stood out immediately as someone that had something unique and special. Anchored VWAP is a tool all serious investors and traders should become familiar with and incorporate in their decision-making process.

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. I first came across Volume Weighted Average Price, VWAP as it is known, many years ago as a trading technique for large orders used mostly by institutions. More recently it has surfaced as an analytical technique, Anchored VWAP. To my mind that is a real innovation and Brian Shannon is the analyst to tell you what it is and how to use it.

In the world of technical price analysis, Brian Shannon has reached the pinnacle of excellence. I count Brian as a real peer. His book on Anchored VWAP will stand as an authoritative textbook on the subject.

Brian has put together an easy-to-understand book that convincingly states the case for using AVWAP as a way to increase profitability while limiting risk. The book is written from the perspective that each trader is different and should find his own approach to using AVWAP. After covering AVWAP basics, Brian dives right in with specific strategies. Highly recommended!

Traders using VWAP has been the biggest change that I’ve seen in my 30 years on the trading floor brokers became more worried about volume than price. They just wanted to be the “average”. Brian has encapsulated that change through his AVWAP research and applied it on multiple time frames. To me this has been the most useful and rewarding addition to the field of technical analysis and I’m so happy he has shared his process with the world
