Technical analysis using multiple timeframes — Brian Shannon (broad report)
Overview
Shannon teaches that when a stock pulls back on the daily chart to the Weekly Anchored VWAP, it is an "A+ setup." You then zoom down to the hourly chart; if the hourly candle closes above the hourly VWAP, you enter.
- Use simple EMAs or SMAs on higher timeframes to define trend and dynamic support (Shannon focuses on price behavior relative to averages rather than fixed crossover signals).
The Dominant Trend: Higher timeframes (Weekly/Daily) define the "tide."
The Hierarchy of Timeframes: Strategy, Tactics, and Execution
Weekly Chart: Used for primary trend identification and finding major support/resistance levels.
