Written by the company

The Pattern Trader, founded by Mark Shawzin, is a trading education company designed to help traders develop a more structured, disciplined, and repeatable approach to the financial markets. For many traders, the biggest challenge is not finding more information. There are endless indicators, opinions, news stories, and trading strategies available. The real challenge is creating a consistent process — knowing what to trade, when to enter, where risk is defined, and how to manage each position without emotion. The Pattern Trader methodology focuses on identifying high-quality trading opportunities through trend analysis, institutional price patterns, market structure, and disciplined risk management. Our flagship program, 1R Lock™ Structured End-of-Day Trading program, was created to help traders follow a structured framework built around clearly defined entries, stop losses, risk levels, and profit objectives. The objective is to remove emotional decision-making and replace it with a consistent, rules-based trading process. The 1R Lock™ approach focuses on: • Identifying high-probability stock trading setups • Recognizing repeatable chart patterns and market behavior • Defining risk before entering every trade • Building consistency through structured execution • Helping traders develop professional trading habits The Tactical Trading Room is our live educational environment where traders learn how to apply The Pattern Trader methodology in real market conditions. Members receive ongoing market analysis, chart reviews, trade education, and training designed to improve pattern recognition and decision-making. Our philosophy is simple: Successful trading is not about predicting every market move. It is about preparation, patience, risk management, and following a repeatable process over time. The Pattern Trader community is built for traders who want to move beyond random trading decisions and develop the discipline, structure, and confidence required to approach markets with a professional mindset.

SCAMMER MARK

SCAMMER MARK, I reached out to Mark for a refund, as his staff kept blowing us off. Stood us up twice. Come to find out, he's fired his entire staff.

So despite meeting all his contract points to be qualified for a refund, he refuses it. He does not address anything we point out and basically tells you to F off. O and that  everything is our fault. Horrible human, even worse trader.
His recommended trades fail 99% of the time or more. Don't give him a penny. RUN.

I learn something every session

Four days a week I am spending time with Mark before the US market opens. I love these sessions. They don't always translate into wins but I do learn something every day and my knowledge is growing.

The Only Place To Learn To Trade

I have started trading in October 2022. After joining another business to learn how to trade I found that they were only after taking my money. After a few weeks I started looking for other ways to teach myself how to trade, when I stumbled across Mark Shawzin (The Pattern Trader). What a God Sent!! The insight he has on trading is absolutely amazing! Every day in the Boiler Room Session he always amazes me on how he near enough predicts what the the markets are about to do when it opens. The best thing about the sessions with him is that you are able to ask him any questions about your trading or his thoughts on any trades you are thinking about taking. He will always aim to answer your Questions without hesitation. Since I joined Mark There hasn't been a Day that has gone buy without learning something new. He is open and Honest and has no hesitation about sharing his trades with us. I started with a very smaller account and I'm making a profit every week. If you really want to learn how to trade successfully and seriously in order to change your life then the only person I would recommend is Mark Shawzin ( The Pattern Trader)

THE TRADER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR (Mark Shawzin)

Honestly in life you only come across traders like this sometimes once in a lifetime and sometimes never. I wish every trader had a “Mark” in there path because it would make life for them a lot easier. In 2 months I was able to flip a 2k account to over 30k. This might sound like a fairytale but Mark is that knight in shining armor. His program might not be for you if you aren’t dedicated or want someone who going just tell you what to trade every second of the day like some people who sell trade alerts. This is a program for someone who wants to adopt a mindset and who is willing to let go of previous basis and is willing to learn price action. Join Mark if you see potential in yourself and in your future. Don’t quit on yourself, Marks knowledge is worth every dollar I have paid and more. The things I have learned are worth the price of the course and more!

My experience of attending Mark's 3-day presentation

I recently acquired Mark's book - The Freedom Trader's Handbook - and attended his 3-day presentation and I have to say following the process he laid out for trading has allowed me to improve my analytical skills overnight and given me renewed confidence. I can now evaluate potential trades more quickly and feel confident about entering into a trade.

Best I've come across.....

In an industry full of scam artists its easy to constantly system hop as you quickly lose faith in the teacher/system. Mark does not have favourable online reviews but he has explained the SEC investigation on his youtube channel. I was exteremely hesitant in signing up but was glad I did after watching him trade.

Mark uses a very simplisic approach, using price patterns and enteries are normally low risk. Lagging indicators don't work, I've tried them unsuccessfully for 20 years. Mark is the real deal, he explains his reasoning for the trade, the coaches are also on hand for questions. I would advise anyone sitting on the fence to sign up. Watch his youtube videos, if that approach "connects" with you then don't hesitate....

Mark has a real handle on trading, and it's clear.

Mark has a real handle on a straightforward way to look at price action, and is able to clearly spell it out. His explaino book is succinct and clear, and he has several "demo" sessions on zoom. The one I like most is the Friday Underground Trader zoom meeting, where he analyzes different equities and currencies. This helps to sort out the *good* trades from the *risky* trades. You rock, Mark!

Mark is for Real!

Mark does a really good job explaining how to breakdown a set up based on risk reward, trend and specific patterns. And most of all how price action works.

Trading for free with Mark is great

Trading for free with Mark is great! He’s supplementing my trading education by teaching a newbie like myself how he sees patterns in the charts, which has been beneficial. I’m looking to growing my account so I can work with him regularly.
