I have been trading for over 20 years but always as a longer term investor. After researching how to trade on a shorter timeframe I came across Brian Shannon's books about the anchored volume weighted average price (AVWAP). This led me to his website and X where he offers a very reasonable subscription. After experiencing that I subscribed to his full service from the website and have learned so much. I now trade on any timeframe and continue to learn every day thanks to the service!

I have only been an Alphatrends subscriber for a few months, but in that short time, my trading performance has come up more than in the previous year of struggling to stay consistently profitable. I had previously subscribed to another popular Swing Trading service, and was only told to buy this or that stock, and sell here or there, but I never learned why some trades worked and others did not. (their performance was only a little better than the S&P!). Brian's approach is to drill the fundamental workings of VWAP and multi-timeframe trading, stressing risk management, and "making the trade your own" which forces me to look for low risk, high probability setups using his time tested strategies. Bottom line?...a great educational experience....I expect that down the road a bit, that I should be able to "cut-the-cord" and fly solo in the ever changing market environment. Thanks, Brian!

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

Alphatrends is a simple, straightforward and effective approach to price analysis and risk management techniques to markets, and a priceless treasure in financial education. Brian Shannon is one of the best in the business!

Brian's teachings turned me into a profitable trader. His style suits my personality as he takes a no BS approach to managing trades and emotions. I appreciate the clarity he brings into reading the market

Brian has a unique ability to teach the science of technical analysis and also the art of trading. Alphatrends has been very valuable to me in terms of learning and making money. I highly recommend joining.

AlphaTrends is an indispensable trading education platform. Brian teaches you how to think, make the trade your own based on YOUR preferences and risk tolerance. He is an amazing educator. Fully recommend AlphaTrends to anyone starting or continuing their trading journey.

I have been an Alphatrends subscriber for many years and I consider it one of the best sources I have found for instilling a consistent methodology, and trading and investing discipline. While my style varies somewhat from Brian's I find his objective, non-emotional approach to market action to be very helpful, and he consistently brings stock patterns to my attention that I was previously unaware of. I constantly see mainstream stock recommendations that violate Brian's principles and I think most investors would be far more profitable if they followed the approaches Brian suggests, or at least made themselves aware of the risks they are taking when they don't. I recommend Brian's service for both experienced and newer traders and investors.

This service provides much more than advertised. Brian discusses actionable trades that are low risk. Trade suggestions are valuable, but the biggest value is the knowledge transfer that he provides. Becoming a member of Alphatrends allows you to have a DAILY teacher transferring his 30 years of experience. I have hired guides for fishing many times, a single day is nice, but nothing compares to Brians teaching style that allows you to BUILD a valuable skill.

Clear, concise, consistent, practical and actionable education with the core focus on risk management. After years of misunderstanding how to approach trading in the markets and having extremes in gains and losses I was determined to learn from experts who demonstrated stability and consistent success. Overwhelmed by information overload, I searched for education that silenced the sensational voices and their unreasonable claims. Discovering Brian and his works provided the clearest foundation for me to build a solid, consistent process that fits my character and personal experience. Brian's focus on obedience to price and intense adherence to risk management has equipped me for long term survival and growth in my journey as a trader in today's markets. His books, daily videos, webinars and frequent interviews provide guidance and education that brings the principles of his success to life in real-time, making it easy to grasp and make my own. Brian doesn't waver from his convictions to get "likes" or followers. No spoon-fed buy and sell alerts. (I tried a couple of these with other popular traders only to discover I was being fed the dispersals of Trades that had been previously loaded up on by them.) Brian is a true educator that strives to nurture an independent mindset that will survive the test of time. I am a Alphatrends subscriber in my fourth year and believe that any discerning student of the markets will excell with his guidance and education. While so many traders are screaming about their extreme successes (and hiding their failures), Brian teaches how to survive downturns and steadily build your skills and account. Cheers

I've been a longtime subscriber to Alphatrends. Brian is one of the best educators out there and for anyone who wants to learn trading, there are few better than him. Practical and stemming from years of experience a subscription to Alphatrends is the best way to ensure you stay on track. Brian is a gem and I highly recommend the service to everyone.

Brian is one of the best technical trading teacher, he gives it to you how it is and what the market is doing now and what the market can do from where it is. Some key take aways for me from Brian’s trainings and videos is how the moving averages are calculated and plotted depending on your timeframe, trading multiple timeframes and stage analysis market structure on the different timeframes along with the . Brian’s understanding of the markets and highlighting where buyers and sellers, supply and demand exist on a chart by using some of Brian’s suggested overlays. You don’t know what you don’t know, until you have been made aware of it, in both of Brian’s books and website you will learn something even if it’s a only a small thing that you may not have known before, which could make the difference in your trading success as I have. Thank you to Brian and everyone at Alphatrends.

Brian Shannon is a well recognized name in the stock market. He is a trader and also author of the two best selling books ( Technical analysis using multiple timeframes and Anchored VWAP ). I am a alphatrend subscriber and I took the Advanced trading course ( around 9 hours videos) . It helped me alot in my trading journey . I was looking for something that makes sense during the buying and selling. I wanted to learn about the market behavior so i can do better. Brian's book helped me a lot. After reading his book (Anchored VWAP) and watching his videos (Advanced trading course) my perspective is totally changed towards the market. Alot of things are making sense to me now. Low risk entries comparing to the Gains are the best thing a trader can do. I am so glad i found his book . I am a fan of his work and i am looking forward to learn a lot from him about the technical analysis.

Too many losers ... he's not a great trader ... doesn't use divergences or any indicator besides MAs and VWAP ... doesn't look at the long-term picture of the market before picking stocks long or short. Stay away.

Alphatrends is tired old web site with weak stock picks. No performance tracking at all, so no way to evaluate any period of performance. I don't like these kinds of games at all. There is zero evidence that Brian Shannon is anything but yet another trading talking head with poor results. The website looks like it's never been updated, and has no educational content. For $129 a month you can do much better. To me, Alphatrends is a complete waste of money.

I never understood why these so-called trading guru's like Brian Shannon get so much attention and yet they produce poor results. It's weird.

Save your money, learn to trade and do your own research.
