Want to master market structure? In this high-level workshop, AlphaTrends founder Brian Shannon shares his proven swing trading framework built on trend alignment, anchored VWAP, multiple timeframes, and clean price action. He walks through real setups, stop placement, and why understanding stage analysis (from Stan Weinstein to modern charts) is the key to staying on the right side of the trend.
From daily routines and weekend reviews to managing risk with tight stops and R-multiple thinking, Brian also dives deep into his 5-day moving average strategy, plus how to use VWAP from key swing highs/lows and earnings events to time trades like a pro.
