Great and honest teacher 👏

Brian is the most honest person in this business that I met. There is no sugar coating anything or any emotional approach. He will give you an honest opinion. You are the only person that can change your own situation. And Brian will help you to be better trader, but you have to do the work. He will never give you fish, but he will teach you how to fish. With real trades that you have to decide for your self if they are good for you.

Great service! Highly recommended.

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.  

Give it a try!  Just one trade will likely earn you enough for his very reasonably priced yearly service.  It is just as much about what not to take as a trade as it is to find the right trade.  Thanks Brian!  You have changed my life.

A Content Rich Educational Opportunity

I view Brian Shannon’s Alphatrends as an educational service for active trading that uses real time examples to illustrate it’s core guiding principles. It emphasizes risk management as a priority and the need to make trades “your own”. This is about teaching and learning the disciplines to become an independent and successful active trader. 

It is not a “stock picking” service and is for people who want to learn how to trade for themselves. Brian Shannon is a no nonsense, down to earth and highly credible active trader and teacher. Genuinely a content rich opportunity.

Rewarding and profitable

I’ve been following Brian for a long time (four plus years) and have been able to take the journey he offers learning about the VWAP to another level. He is positive and honest. Leaning the VWAP and trading from someone like Brian has been rewarding and profitable. He is professional and provides great insights into the VWAP indicator. He simplifies the process of learning the VWAP by breaking it down into levels that are easy to understand. I recommend Brian and Alphatrends.

Great insight and analysis for serious traders

I’ve been an AlphaTrends subscriber for several years now and can’t overstate how useful, insightful, and disciplined Brian is with his methodology and guidance. His books and website are crucial for anyone trying to master trading like a professional would. 

There is no shortage of “gurus” out there trying to convince the masses they know something everyone else doesn’t – this ain’t that. 

Brian’s service is authentic and above all, realistic. Yes, he offers trade ideas when appropriate, but more importantly he’s going to give you reasonable analysis of the markets and preach the kind of patience and discipline that makes a trader a pro.

If you’re looking for a quick buck, you’re missing the point of Brian’s teaching. It’s not an about fast or flashy money, it’s about learning to survive and thrive past the point where 95% of most traders fail.

Risk management Job #1, Brian Shannon of Alphatrends

Brian Shannon of Alphatrends, is not just a teacher, he is a mentor. I have had many stock subscriptions Alphatrends is easily the best. Everyday Brian gives you a sense of where the market is in general. Then goes into details about particular stocks. 

Brian always gives you actionable ideas/techniques on risk management (stops). The service is fantastic, and Brian manages to continually improve it!

Great information

Great information, just pure technical approach, no wizardry or economic chit chat. Brian dares to talk plainly about entry and exit levels. Really a good place to learn and develop a rational methodology.

Excellent service

I have become a much better trader because of Alphatrends. Brian’s decades of experience make him an excellent trading coach. His books on technical analysis are second to none. 

He provides actionable swing trading ideas as well as defensive coaching when the market becomes less hospitable. He doesn’t provide an alert service that says “Buy here…sell there…” Instead, he outlines scenarios to be mindful of as you watch price action for a low-risk, high-probability entry. 

He also offers a private Discord server where subscribers can interact in real time, ask questions about ideas, and share their own trades. I find it an excellent value add.

Thanks Brian. I just love your presentation and substance. You are unique on X. Quality information, not hype. The price action of a market shows that we are dealing with a market, not some version of the Wild West. Markets are Markets, but they are not chaos. Thanks

I know you refuse to admit it. You’re actually the father of VWAP. I’ve read both of your books and how you’ve explained handoffs in depth made me believe only price pays.

You’ve helped me shift my mindset towards trading. Thank you Brian! Great read.

If you like trading AVWAP I highly recommend Brian Shannon. He’s the father of AVWAP. Tons of free info on YouTube. He and he alone took me from three years of losing to winning every month for 4 years.

Alphatrends is the best by far. But he does swing trades and you have to be ready to trade. You have to follow his trading principles. He does offer two courses that outline it perfectly.

My favorite swing trader is Brian Shannon from Alphatrends.net. But you have to accept a pure technical analysis driven approach to trading. If you do, he will show you the light.
