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.

Exceptional trader and a teacher

I quiet like the way you make decision based on the market structure and scientific way you plan and trade. Your approach is something that every trader should learn and stick with the plan if anyone is interested in trading and making money from the markets. You give a lot to the traders in your free webinars and a big thank you for that.

Kudos to Mark Shawzin

Mark Shawzin has been educating and demonstrating his style of trading for years, largely for free. His books, several of which I have obtained for a small donation, explain his valuable trading strategies. I commend and recomend Mark and The Pattern Trader to all who want to become serious traders.

plain talk, riveting, and great practice

Mark's book is straight, plain talk. You instantly know he's speaking to you directly. Once I started it on the plane, I was sad that the plane was landing and I had to stop. I was riveted to try to get through it all and one plane ride. On the next plane ride I got to the practice problems, and I wanted those practice scenarios to go on forever. If he wrote another book with just scenarios, call it “marks 100 most interesting trades,” I would buy it.

We joined TPT on the Accelerator - don't bother…

We joined TPT on the Accelerator Program, the precursor to the Elite Program. I'd have to say we've lost all money we invested in the program and on the trades we executed. The problem is that with this program, you get the trades to take but no back up to know how to manage them. When you are newbies, like us, this is a pointless program, yet it is where we were recommended to start by the "coach" (we never hear from him). To join the Elite, you need a lot more money to invest in both the program and to trade. You would then get daily contact with Mark and know when to get out of trades. However, the newbies don't get this, and we've lost money taking his trades and not getting any further support. So don't waste your money on the Accelerator Program unless you know what you're doing. We were going to move onto the Elite, but now we're not so sure. His latest recommendation to buy went completely down and now has us, again, poorer than when we started.
