This was not an interview, it was a MASTER class totally open and descriptive. I learn a lot from your videos and I think that Brian synthesis about learning from other to "build your own style" clarify that there is not "crystal ball" (besides the one Brian have in the mechanic). Thanks Richard and Brian for it.

[@TraderLion]

Glad you enjoyed it!

thanks Erni!

I have watched numerous presentations by Brian on VWAPs and AVWAPs and I will continue to watch them whenever they are available. There is so much to learn and repetition always help reinforce the principles. Kind of like how an athlete practices the same motion over and over so it is stored in their muscle memory. Thank you Brian and Richard for making this valuable information available to retail traders.

Thanks Richard and Brian for this video. I believe this video is a must see for anyone who have read Brian's latest book. I watch some part a few times and will rewatch again. Is TL masterclass with Brian Shannon coming soon?

[@sebastienmercier6413]

Great video. Very clear and informative. Well done Richard and Brian, keep up the good work :)

Thank you, Sebastien! We're glad you found the video helpful. Richard and Brian appreciate your support. Stay tuned for more!

Brilliant interview, could listen to Brian for 12 hours straight. Just handed my good Lady the link to amazon for the book for my Birthday.

[@skyfreak73]

Great job, fellas! .. And yes, Richard, I watched the whole thing. 😂

[@RichardMoglen]

[@lardofarp]

As an artist I can appreciate his comparison of colors to time frames. I'll check at least to five before entering a trade. They all need to tell their story. Great advice also on trend, buyers back in control, etc.

[@junseopark9305]

Thank you. The focus on what's really important (understanding the whole picture / context) is wonderful. There is no BS in this interview it may be boring for people looking for a "magic" pill solution but what Brian is offering is fundamental understanding of how buyers and seller interact with each other and using that knowledge to develop an edge.

Glad you enjoyed!

Brian Shannon is a great guy and educator I also trade with VWAP but with the standard deviation bands when I found out what value was and did background study on what was standard deviations and the mean in price the average price and made since to me i will read his book to gain more knowledge

[@Youarturo]

Good morning and thank you for this great video. May I ask if VWAP or AVWAP works on the Forex Market as well ??? NYSE, Nasdaq are "centralized" markets that have a real read on Volume, while Forex is a"descentrilized" market and each broker has a "different way" to show and count Volume ... love to hear your thoughts !!! thank you !!!

[@sadako2009]

this is a nice sharing on avwap ...thank u! I am just wondering is this as applicable on forex ,since it arent centralized but would instead take in tick info. Would like to understand anyone's thought on this

[@graymongol47]

I think what Richard was trying to ask is that lets say we are looking at 10 min chart and it is above the AVWAP from LL you put and you are now looking for entry and switch to 2 min chart but now price is below the same AVWAP. So now Price being above AVWAP was main drive for the entry and it is no longer valid on smaller time frame. How do you trade that? Wait for 2min chart to go above the AVWAP? Thank you

I will look at daily to look for good trend stock, 30minute look at intermediate term where I can get involved, 3-5 mins for entry level, then go back to 30minute is set my stop loss with recent low high. In other word, I personally like 30 minute and daily chart

[@robertlu5117]

I learned all this from his book, stay with timeframe you like

Nice Robert!

Great Interview Richard. Always learn something from Brian. Will Deepvue be getting point and click AVWAP?

[@TraderLion]

Yes it will, we are currently working on that

[@alphatrends]

Great to hear Kurt

[@arnoldsantos2827]

Can you use the AVWAP for futures trading or is it only to trade Stock because they have volume.

[@TraderLion]

Volume is a key part of the calculation for VWAP.

[@arnoldsantos2827]

@@TraderLion so are you saying that it only can be used in stocks and not the futures market like the index s&p .NQ ,YM

[@michaelkofman3881]

​@@arnoldsantos2827there's futures volume, too. What's the problem?

[@Christoph877]

18:15 Do you think that Brian meant to say " to Buy the Higher Low "...? Or could he have been meaning to say, basically to Buy the Breakout?

[@TraderLion]

Breakout through the higher high I believe

[@Christoph877]

@@TraderLion Thank you

[@anderso7784]

Brian mentioned the 5D moving average at the 30M timeframe. I guess he mean the 5 period moving averages?

[@alphatrends]

no, I meant 5 day, to see that you need to use 65 periods. There are 13- 30 minute periods per day. 13x5 =65

[@stevenbuchholz8865]

Well, I guess that makes sense. Every person has to what indicator that works for them. Yep hi to low time frames. You need to pick up on the nuances yourself and how much confluence or confirmation that you think you need.

[@mmm-cake]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TenTonNuke]

AVWAP doesn't work for me on any platform. The baseline and the deviation lines are always so close together that they run right through my candles (4h).

[@aristocratictrading]

All these indicators or oscillators and I mean all will be a traders biggest weakness if that's what they depend on to initiate a trade they should only used for live at that moment data to identify the current status of the any given market and not for identifying the direction of the market for direction it begins with understanding fundamentally what's going on and technical analysis used for the best entery as well understanding how and why markets move and knowing how market makers and big money may intervine and manipulate markets.
