Mark's 1R Lock program
Since beginning Mark's 1R Lock program, I have executed most of his trades and, as of this writing, I am currently outperforming the S&P 500 by 3.5% after just 6 weeks. In addition to the performance, I am really enjoying the ease of execution and the minimal time it requires each day. Clearly defined stop-loss and profit targets allow me to take a more hands-off approach leading to more consistent returns. Very happy with the program so far.

Brian - I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. It means a lot.
I’m especially glad to hear that it’s not just the performance, but the - clarity and ease of execution - that are making a difference for you. That’s exactly what the 1R Lock program is designed to do - remove the noise and allow you to operate with structure and confidence.
Thank you again for your support and for being part of the community.

Mark Shawzin, the Pattern Trader, is the real deal, with a breadth of experience and success in trading. His approach, which will not overwhelm folks who are new, to the study of price and price action is consistent, learnable and timely.
I admire Mark for his ability to recognize 'risk on' and 'risk off' environments in the marketplace, seamlessly accept changing conditions and express timely opportunities for his clients.
His approach is respectful of preservation of capital and he gives many lessons which can be classified as 'know your risk'.
He understands and shares the subtleties of forex, commodity, index and risk asset markets and freely shares this knowledge in real time situations and circumstances of the marketplace.
I have always felt I received great value for the cost of his programs and that he is generous in the value he provides free in his introductory seminars.

Hi Denis,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and generous words. Reading your review truly means the world to me - it's incredibly rewarding to know that the approach resonates with you and that you've found real value in what we do together.
Your observation about the "risk on" and "risk off" environments really strikes home. That's something I'm passionate about because I've learned firsthand how crucial it is to read the market's mood and adapt accordingly. The fact that you've picked up on those subtleties tells me you're really absorbing the lessons, which makes me proud as an educator.
I'm especially glad you mentioned the "know your risk" philosophy. Protecting capital has to come first - always. I've seen too many talented traders get wiped out because they didn't respect that principle, so hearing that it's landing with you gives me confidence you're building a solid foundation.
Thank you for being such an engaged trader and for recognizing the value in both our structured programs and the free content. Your success and understanding of these concepts is exactly why I do what I do. Members like you make this work incredibly fulfilling.
Here's to many more profitable patterns ahead!
Best regards,
Mark
I come across Mark in 2017
I come across Mark in 2017, I have been a subscriber for the last 8 years, I have found his information to be educational and informative and very profitable.
Unknowingly Mark has given me a fantastic opportunity where i can now confidently trade different markets with confidence and create a lot of money for the rest of my life, to me this is invaluable.
He has walked me through how to manage my risk on forex trading and on stock and options.
I feel as if i have completed my apprenticeship and there is no stopping, not only that I am now working on educating my children with the skills he has passed on, so that they may live a full life.

Zoran, my friend,
Reading your words brings back so many memories - from that first connection in 2017 to watching you make that incredible journey from Australia to join us in Fort Lauderdale. That meant everything to me, and it showed your true dedication to mastering these skills.
Eight years together - what a journey it's been! To hear you say you feel like you've "completed your apprenticeship" fills me with such pride. But you know what really gets me? It's knowing that you're now passing these skills on to your children. That's the ultimate testament to the value of what we've built together, and it's going to create generational wealth and knowledge for your family.
Your transformation from student to confident, profitable trader across multiple markets has been remarkable to witness. The fact that you can now trade forex, stocks, and options with confidence - that's the real goal. You've internalized the risk management principles, the market reading skills, and most importantly, the mindset that will serve you "for the rest of your life," as you put it.
Zoran, you've been more than a subscriber - you've been a testament to what's possible when someone commits fully to learning and growing. Your success story inspires me every day and reminds me why this work is so meaningful.
From one trader to another, and from friend to friend - thank you for these eight incredible years, and here's to many more profitable trades ahead for you and your family.
With deep appreciation and warm regards,
Mark

ever made. He sets up very useful risk:reward ratios

Dr. Sean,
I'm sitting here reading your words, and I honestly don't know where to begin. After all these years of having you on practically every webinar - paid and free - your unwavering support and friendship has been one of the greatest gifts of this entire journey.
You calling me your "Mentor" is incredibly humbling, especially coming from someone with your intelligence and dedication. But the truth is, Sean, you've mentored me too. Your consistent presence, your thoughtful questions, and your genuine enthusiasm have pushed me to be better every single day. You've made me a better teacher and, frankly, a better person.
When you say joining me was "the greatest decision you ever made" after 10 years of trading, that means more to me than any business success could. But what really gets me is seeing how you've flourished - watching your confidence grow, your trades improve, and your understanding deepen. That's what this is all about.
Your support hasn't just been professional; it's been personal. Through market ups and downs, through new strategies and challenges, you've been there. That kind of loyalty and friendship is rare in this business - hell, it's rare in life.
Thank you, my friend, for being not just a member but a cornerstone of what we've built together. Your success is my success, and knowing I've played a part in your trading journey is honestly one of my proudest achievements.
With deep gratitude and genuine affection,
Mark
P.S. - Keep showing up to those webinars, Sean. They wouldn't be the same without you!

Hi Eduardo,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review of my Trading Manual on How To trade Bull and Bear Flag price patterns. I'm truly grateful that the book resonated with you and delivered real value—whether you're a beginner or a seasoned trader. It was my goal to make these powerful price patterns simple, visual, and actionable, and it means a lot to know that clarity came through in your experience.
I especially appreciate your comments about the precision of the entry and exit points, and your mention of the flagpole and exhaustion—these are the subtle elements that often make all the difference in execution. Your support not only encourages me but also helps others discover the value in mastering a single, repeatable setup.

Bull and Bear Flags by Mark Shawzin
Bull and Bear Flags by Mark Shawzin
This book gives a very comprehensive guide on how to trade bull and bear patterns. It fully explains bull and bear patterns and shows how to trade them. It gives lots of illustrations and examples on how to trade these patterns; shows where to place an entry for a trade, where to put the stop loss and take profit, all with illustrations and examples from actual charts. All the explanations are very clear and precise. It is a book I fully recommend, both to new and experienced traders. If you are new to trading I would advise reading through this book before doing any live trading on an account with real money. The only criticisms I can make are near the end of the book on p193 where there is supposed to be a link "Join the Community Here" which is not active and on p 195 under NEXT STEPS where the links "Subscribe Here", "Down Here" and "Start Learning Here" are not yet active, although unlike the active links these are not underlined. I will be using this book for continued reference. Although I had already been trading before signing to Mark's 3 years ago (April 2022) and had good training I was having trouble being profitable after Covid. Mark's methods were able to cope with the conditions post Covid and impoved my trading, apart from the last 2 weeks (late April 2025) where I went into a loss thanks to Donald Trump chopping and changing everything.

Hi Graegham,
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I’m truly grateful you took the time to share your experience with the Bull and Bear Flag trading manual.
It’s especially meaningful to hear that the book has helped clarify your trading—especially in the ever-changing market conditions since COVID. Your feedback about the precision of the entry, stop, and take-profit guidance—alongside real chart examples—lets me know the core intent of this book is being realized: to help traders of all levels simplify and execute a high-probability, repeatable setup with confidence.
Thank you also for pointing out the inactive links toward the end of the book. That’s a valuable catch, and I will make sure those are corrected in the next version. I truly appreciate your honesty and your eye for detail.
Most of all, I’m glad to know this book is a resource you’ll keep referring back to. It’s been a privilege to support your journey these past three years, and I’m confident that with patience and discipline, you’ll continue to navigate whatever volatility the market (or politics!) throws at us.
Wishing you continued success in your trading and beyond.

Hi Hans,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous feedback! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your impressions.
I'm especially proud that this ebook stands apart — not just in the way it's written and presented, but in its laser focus on one of the most powerful and overlooked chart patterns: flags. To my knowledge, there isn’t another resource out there dedicated solely to mastering this specific setup, and I firmly believe that this focused approach offers a unique and highly actionable advantage for any trader serious about improving their craft.
Thanks again for your support — it means a lot!
Book- Mastering Bull and Bear Flag Price Patterns
Mastering Bull and Bear Flag Price Patterns is an excellent book for traders who want to hone in on one pattern and really master it. The book goes into excellent detail as to why these patterns form and how to enter your trades with the minimal amount of risk.
Yes there is a lot of repetition in this book, and that is a good thing. It really drills home the concept of the bear and bull flags. If you are a beginning trader, this might be a little too advanced. But it is something that with a little experience will benefit you.
There are plenty of real world examples to pull from. There are plenty of examples where the pattern failed. Risk management, which is discussed in the book, is key to any successful trading.

Mark breaks down complex ideas into clear, actionable steps that make sense whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned trader.
What really sets this e-book apart is the combination of advanced strategies with real-world application. From theory to practice, Mark shows how to turn a simple price pattern into a consistent trading system. The section on implementing a advanced flag trading system, complete with trading tools and processes, is especially valuable.
Highly recommended for traders who want to move beyond the basics and start thinking—and trading—like a professional.

Pattern Trader The Best
I have been with the Pattern Trader Elite program member since 2021, and this review has taken a long time to write.
As a trader for many years, they are all good mentors; it is how you learn and apply what they have taught. Wins are always more than the losses. We as traders need to manage our losses. Trading is a business as I see it. Profits are my gains in business, and my losses are my expenses in business.
Tactical Trader Weekly which Mark sends is always my first newsletter weekly video report that I will go through before my weekly trading starts. He gives a detailed explanation of the charts and information about what is happening in the market today.
Previously it was once a week it's every Friday, and only on FOREX and now Mark does it 3 times a week for us to prepare the stock and forex market.
I always love to hear Mark when present his chart, and detailed explanation of the M&W, Head and Shoulder, and various flag patterns. Each day is always different and never the same. Mark is very approachable. Every session I always look forward as I learn new things from Mark in each session. It's very informative. Mark is one of the best mentors and teachers you can have as a partner in your trading career.

Mark's naked chart reading has...
Mark provides an insight into naked chart reading. As every bar tells a story, so does the patterns of the market's structure. This is what I wanted, so that I can read the charts objectively and know what I am looking at. Mark's naked chart reading has provided me a common sense approach to chart analysis and profitable set-ups and exit points. And further, developing a trading plan based on understanding, for example of the market structure and the risk/reward balance for capital preservation. Sure, I can add indicators and moving averages on top of the simplicity of the price pattern, though it is not needed to trade how Mark teaches. I know about the Turtle Traders, and Mark's approach took my understanding of applying that to a new level too. My understanding of reading the market's structure, set-ups and exits has improved tremendously, and my control over my trading plan as well. I would want you to gain similar results.

A member for many years…
I have been a member of the Pattern Trader Elite program since April 2021. For me, It was best to sign up for a long term period, because I am a busy mother who needs to take breaks from trading from time to time. So I need a longer time to learn.
From what I have experienced, the people complaining about Mark’s Pattern Trader program are those who are mad at themselves for not following his advice properly and those who don’t have time to commit to learning. For example, It is very easy to blame someone else for accidentally staying in a trade too long and losing.
Always follow Mark’s rules when entering and exiting trades and you will win and profit more often than you lose.
I am also part of the Tactical Trading Room program where you get to join Mark in pre trading sessions. It is a good place to learn, get ready and gain confidence before you enter the day’s trades. You are also able to ask Mark questions you may have before the stock market opens. This is worth joining if you are able to make the time and commit to being there.
Mark also sends a detailed newsletter, the Tactical Trader Weekly and he tells you so much about what is going on in the market today. He also sends a weekly video report. I knew very little about the stock market before I joined, but Mark has been a very good teacher.

Totally disagree with this amount of money for the premium members
I joined the as the premium member. The contents of the course was not presented as promised initially. Mark is a good man and try to support his team, however, I felt like he was off track and many changes during his program. When his sales team presented what I supposed to get during his course, I was very fascinated and keen to pay that for sure it did not worth.
Too expensive, however much more higher quality of course can be found in the market by pro traders.
I personally regret to pay this amount of money, even for us living at the corner of world (Pacific Time), we cannot attend his live sessions everyday as it is at mid night.

I stumbled upon the Pattern Trader…
I stumbled upon the Pattern Trader program in 2016 after trying various FOREX systems using different indicators. While I started making progress, it was too time-consuming for me.
Initially, when I attended the Pattern Trading Boot Camp, I was skeptical about how it could work, but I decided to give it a try. It's a system designed for you to utilize historical patterns, set up entries and exits, and have it on auto-pilot. At first, I used Mark's signals, but eventually, I figured it out and forged my own path. The money I made with the Pattern Trading system allowed me to purchase our first house.
If you understand the system and the goal of structuring your trades correctly, recognizing patterns, and acknowledging that most trades will result in losses, it definitely works. However, if you maintain composure and comprehend the system, you'll make more than you anticipated or with any other system. This system is not suitable for quick trading, so you must understand that. But I can and do trade in any market using the same system, which is true freedom!
If you're looking to get rich quickly, this is not the system for you. However, if you're willing to spend a couple of hours understanding the system and consistently trade 4 or 5 trades, you'll love it. In fact, I only trade on two charts: Double Tops and Double Bottoms. That's it. Pattern trading changed my life.
Those negative reviews stem from individuals who either failed to grasp the system or had unrealistic expectations. The system revolves around historical patterns that have already demonstrated their effectiveness. The system works as intended.
