THE NEXT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR WILL BE POSTED WEDNESDAY September 30, 2026 by 8PM EDT

Learn how to swing trade for maximum gains

Every Alphatrends offer, one simple guide.

You are a serious trader, so you already know that guessing is expensive.

Picking where to start shouldn’t be.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of every membership, course, and book we offer, along with an honest take on who each one is actually for. No hype, no pressure, just the information you need to make a smart decision.

Find your Best Fit

Explore how to swing trade like the pros

Start here. Find the line that sounds most like you, then follow it to your best first step.

"I want Brian and Andy's daily market read and a serious community around me."

Alphatrends premium is for you.

"I'm curious about the daily market read, but I want to test the waters first."

Start with the X subscription for $10 a month, then upgrade when you’re ready.

"I want to build a rock-solid foundation, at my own pace."

Our trading courses take you from the ground up.

"I want to go deep on the framework and keep it on my shelf as a reference."

Brian’s two books are where the method lives on paper.

Alphatrends Memberships

Daily access to a trader with skin in the game

Most services hand you alerts and hope you don’t ask questions. We do the opposite. Membership gets you inside Brian’s daily process, where you learn to read price action and manage risk for yourself.

Both options below give you a daily market read. The difference is how deep you want to go.

Membership

Alphatrends premium

Recommended for serious swing traders
$139/month or $1,299/year (save 22%) Or try 2 weeks for $59.

This is the full Alphatrends experience: Brian and Andy in your corner every trading day, walking you through the market as it actually unfolds.

What’s included:

Who it’s for: Intermediate to advanced swing traders who want a repeatable daily process and a real teacher, not a signal to blindly follow.

Subscription

X subscription

The low-cost way to get a feel for the method
Start today for just $10/month

A stripped-down taste of the daily market read, delivered straight to your X feed. It’s the easiest way to see how Brian thinks before you commit to more.

What’s included:

What’s not included: The mid-day video, daily trade ideas, the Discord community, and daily access to Brian and Andy. Those live in Premium.

Who it’s for: Traders who want an affordable daily market read, or who want to sample the Alphatrends approach before going all in.

A friendly reminder

Most X subscribers eventually upgrade, and for good reason.

Once you see how much a daily mid-day read, live trade ideas, and direct access to Brian change your decisions, the $10 version starts to feel like watching the game from the parking lot. When you’re ready for the full picture, Premium is waiting.

Still not sure?

Any door leads to the same place

Every Alphatrends offer, whether it’s a $10 subscription or the full Premium experience, teaches the same durable philosophy: read price action objectively, respect multiple timeframes, and manage risk like your account depends on it, because it does.

Only Price Pays!™ It always has.
