Brian Shannon, CMT (November 16, 1967) is an American author and technical analyst.
Shannon published his acclaimed book entitled Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes in 2008 to educate beginning and intermediate day traders on the tools and techniques that have made him "one of the best indie traders in the business".
The book received mixed reviews but ultimately was received well by novice day 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." Shannon runs a swing and day trading service which is focused on: low risk, high probability trade ideas presented as daily educational videos and a chat room through his Alphatrends web site as well as live webinars. 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.
