TraderInterviews.com: Hello everybody and welcome back to TraderInterviews.com. Thanks for joining us for another show this week. As usual, the idea with all of these interviews is to give you something to think about in your own trading. So not so much a direct lesson about how to trade, although we do some of that once in a while, but more about hear something that one trader thinks about when he's looking for opportunities in the markets that maybe you can find and apply to your own style and your own strategy as well today. And so our guest today is Brian Shannon. He's a fulltime trader. He blogs at a site called AlphaTrends.net. He's also written a fantastic book called "Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes: Understand Market Structure and Profit from Trend Alignment". We're going to talk about the book and some of the strategies in there and how Brian looks to find opportunities in the market each day. So Brian, thanks very much for joining us on the show.

You know, this is great, the stock market. Let me, you know, see where that path leads me." So I started out as a retail stock broker in 1990...of '91 rather. And, you know, kind of cut my teeth there, got to practice with other people's money for a while, you know,...
