    This review is from UGLY be sure to check his site out!
    I highly recommend Brian Shannon’s new book “Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes.” It is great. Brian is a pro – as real of a trader as they get. And it’s always best to learn from those who not only know what they’re doing – but those who live off of what they do.
    The book is filled with a lot of wisdom that you can only get from a trader who spends every day in the market – year after year.
    Nice job, Brian.

    reviewed my book and here is an excerpt.

    “That’s right, I want you to pick up a copy right the hell now and read in awe as Shannon explains how it’s not just about memorizing chart patterns—anybody who tells you that is a typically useless finance freak—it’s infintely more important to understand how variables, players and emotions align to create shockingly similar, repetitive, and, more importantly, predictable chart patterns.”

    “Reading Brian Shannon’s TECHNICAL ANALYSIS USING MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES will have a profound impact on your trading experience. He clearly explains the market structure so you can discern clarity from what otherwise might appear random. The result is an outline of a trading approach that can be successfully applied regardless of your particular timeframe preference. I found it particularly rewarding to see his emphasis on risk management. The chapter on trading tips reflect Brian’s deep understanding of the market. His book is on the top shelf of my library.” John Ehlers, President, MESA Software

    Hi Brian

    Just finished your book and I have only one thing to say: thankyou for writting it and sharing your deep knowledge about markets and about trading. It is easy to read and to understand even for me, not a English native speaker and new in trading.

    Having read a large amount of books and manuals about trading, I realize that simplicity in writing and trading is the most complex task to achive, and you did both, congratulations. You are not only a vocational trader, also a vocational educator and I appreciate the fact that I can continue communicating with the author in order to go on on my learning.
    Take care
    andrés

    Finally got your book up here in Ontario Canada. I’ll be getting into it this weekend.

    Just saw a couple of people mention price but have to say that to me your daily video analysis/class ALONE is worth the price I paid for the book.
    Thank you for caring enough to share your knowledge each trading day and in your book. Hopefully a number of us will be successful over the coming months and be able to regale you with our stories of the good trades we made and the “big ones” we missed but will catch “next time”!
    You are certainly managing to make this interesting and, (dare I admit it?) FUN!

    Brian,
    I am reading your book for the 2nd time, in just two days, since receiving it and I must say it is a “classic” the day it came off the press. For me, the simple but overlooked concept of “trend” is what you have elegantly defined and it has already made a very real impact on my trading that has paid for the book 10 times over. With all of the fancy indicators out there most people are overlooking a simple question that you articulate so well “is the stock/market making higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend and vice versa for a downtrend on multiple timeframes?” If it’s not trending why frustrate yourself in stage 1 or 3! I’ve traded for years and I can’t believed I missed the forest through the trees! Thanks for the clarity! Tom T.

    THE BOOK “IS” GREAT ! – THANK YOU !!! – EARL H

    Hi Brian,
    I bought your book and made my first trade this morning using what I learned from the book. I bought 200 shares of SWSI and pocketed $192 (after commissions). I cost myself about $70 selling a little too soon, but profit is profit. The book has already paid for itself.
    Thanks for the book and your website,
    Rick S

    I have to say this is the best book on trading I’ve ever read!! I’m sure some people will say it is overpriced before they read it – I don’t think you priced it high enough! This is everything you need to know in a nutshell. Thanks again!

    Brian!
    Received your book. Outstanding! Better than I had hoped. Will be at the convention in Ontario on Saturday. Where and when? Please let me know! Drinks on me!

    I want to thank you for writing such a great book. I received my copy last week and read through it immediately, but continue to go back through it. I have been studying for about six months and reading everything I can get my hands on and your book is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Brian,
    I had doubts about spending $80 on your book but went ahead anyway. I am glad I did. In the two days I’ve traded this week my account is up 11% risking less than 50% of my capital, thanks to aligning trends in multiple time frames. I have a better system in place to say no to riskier trades that might otherwise appear to be hot. I have a more to learn and more to put into place but reading your book and only trading with trend alignment has made a difference.

  • Review Excerpt

    By conveying the psychology behind the market conditions expressed by charts, Mr. Shannon has conferred upon technical analysis what was in my mind a much-needed air of legitimacy. Rather than explicate the newest fads for identifying bullish candlestick formations in stocks, he articulates the underlying dynamics of supply and demand that heretofore have been under-emphasized in technical analysis literature. In doing so, the book doesn’t just establish TA as something more than “a great way to predict where stocks have been”, it establishes it as indispensable tool for well-informed trading.

    But the book isn’t only about the true nature of moving averages and trend lines (though, even it were, it would still be more than worth the price of admission). By expounding the inextricable influences of timing, risk management, and self-discipline, Shannon has written a book that wraps everything up into a complete guide for formulating your own approach to successful trading.

    and trader for over 35 years T. Kevin Feehan (TK) read my book and here is his review.

    At long last, a common sense approach and explanation of
    Technical Analysis has been written. Brian Shannon takes
    what could be a complicated approach to analyzing the
    markets and translates it into a user-friendly, easily
    understood language. Not only does he teach the reader to
    recognize key patterns, but he also explains the philosophy
    behind the pattern which is even more crucial. His analogy
    on emotions and news exemplifies one of the key ingredients
    to being successful in the markets. Shannon teaches his
    readers a language, the language of what the markets are
    saying as opposed to what other people may say. Brian, this
    is brilliant!

    Thanks, TK. I respect your opinion and am proud to call you a friend. Brian

    Here’s another review of my book from BESPOKE The guys at Bespoke Investment Group (BIG) do some excellent unique research each day, it is one of my favorite blogs.

    Looks like I’m not the only one who has been writing. Dr. Brett announced he has a NEW BOOK with its own blog.

    By the way, the “Bonus Tab” at TECNICALANALYSISBOOK.COM will go live towards the end of June. I will be doing educational videos which will be viewable only to those who have purchased the book. The videos will expand upon concepts in the book and will clarify any questions which may arise from readers. I may occasionally share some specific trading ideas in there too.

    The Qs are stabilizing better than the SPY, but the declining 5DMA offered resistance on the first rally attempt.

    Adam from the Daily Options Report came up with a list of QUESTIONS after reading my book.
