Brian is the author of 2 of the best trading strategy books of all time: Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes (2008) & Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP (2023). He has over 3 decades worth of full-time trading experience and currently focuses on swing trading individual stocks for roughly 2-4 day hold times. One of the biggest takeaways from our talk was the anecdote that Brian shared about the Founder & CEO of Citadel: Ken Griffin. In 2021 congressional testimony, Ken Griffin stated: "Today, virtually all trades executed by institutional investors are in the form of program trades such as VWAP and other algorithmic trades...We use VWAP orders to execute on behalf of our hedge fund and have generated exceptional returns for pension plans and for endowments". In 2022, Citadel booked record-breaking profits of $16 billion and Ken Griffin himself made over $4 billion (the largest in hedge fund history). So when somebody like Ken Griffin of Citadel mentions VWAP - it's worth listening to. Brian Shannon is also someone who I've "unknowingly" respected & looked up to for quite a long time. It was incredible to finally meet him and be able to pick his brain. Check out this week's episode of the Speculator's Podcast to discover how I was first introduced to Brian's work years ago and how everything came full circle in this interview. ➡️ Where You Can Find Brian Shannon YouTube: @alphatrends Website: AlphaTrends.net Book: Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP ✅ Get Funded & Create Your Freedom Lifestyle Trading Business HERE'S WHAT WE COVER: 0:00 Introduction to Brian Shannon 4:36 Stock Trading and Market Adaptation 5:20 Brian's Approach to Core Trading and Stock Analysis 7:27 Risk Management and Holding Strategies 8:35 A Day in the Life of Brian: Trading Routine and Strategies 13:54 Brian's Market Perspective 16:42 Ideal Trading Setup 21:55 Valuing Knowledge: Brian on Pricing His Trading Books 24:22 Exploring the Anchored VWAP 34:30 Decoding Anchored VWAP: Timing and Relevance in Trading 38:14 Balancing Simplicity and Sophistication in Trading 43:07 Avoiding the Pitfall of Curve Fitting 50:55 Fear and Greed in the Markets 53:47 The Journey of VWAP Mastery WHO IS KORBS → HOST OF SPECULATORS PODCAST: My name is Aaron Korbs and I'm a professional Futures trader specializing in Auction Market Theory, Volume Profile & Order Flow.
