Brian Shannon, CMT (November 16, 1967) is an American author, equity trader, and technical analyst. Shannon published his acclaimed book entitled Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes in 2008 to educate beginning and intermediate traders on the tools and techniques that have made him "one of the best indie traders in the business". The book is ranked #4 of all trading books on Amazon. Shannon currently focuses on trading, providing daily focused market analysis, and educating swing traders.
In the book The Stocktwits Edge, Howard Lindzon wrote "it is not by accident that about one-third of the traders featured in this book point to Brian as a mentor who has had the biggest impact on their careers."
Brian runs a swing trading service which is focused on: low risk, high probability trade ideas presented as daily educational videos and a chat room through his Alphatrends.net web site as well as live webinars.[citation needed]
Shannon trades using multiple timeframes. He is known to have a weekly chart, a daily chart, a 30-minute timeframe, a 15-minute timeframe and a five-minute timeframe so he can see five time-frames at once. This allows Shannon to see the interplay of bigger trends with shorter-term timeframe trends.
Brian is one of the original pioneers on the use of Anchored VWAP since he first found the tool in 2003. You can find more of Brian's work on Youtube and on Twitter
