To know and not do, is not to know

Mark's knowledge of pattern trading is exceptional.
His instincts are second to none.
To me, the way he passes on his knowledge and teaches works for me. I come away feeling I have understood. If I have a question I feel I can ask it and it will be answered. I listen, I take notes, I re-listen to the replays incase I missed a golden nugget, and trust me I have missed a few, they are all there for the taking, you just need to be sure you collect as many as you can. Sometimes you don't even realise they are golden nuggets until such time as you need them, so put them in your back pocket and wait, there will be a time where you will cash it in and realise why you picked it up.
I have been been with mark for several years now and every day is a school day. Every day I learn or hear something new, or different or in a way I hadn't thought of before, or considerations I hadn't considered before. Correlations I didn't know about or hadn't realised. Daily & weekly tasks, things to look for, look at and consider before executing.
Managing my risk, trades and execution from buying and selling stocks, commodities, ETF's through to trading Options.
The more I watch and listen, the more it all fell into place. I have held off writing a review for a year or so as I wanted it to be a true review and I can honestly say, Mark Shawzin the pattern trader to me is one of the great teachers of understanding pattern trading and gets better and better and thanks to his teachings, I have had the confidence to semi-retire.
That is my testimonial for Mark Shawzin.

Mark Shawzin super trader

Mark is honest and objective and a great teacher. He likes to teach and he knows what he is doing.
I follow him for years now and I am still learning.
Also he is very open on what he does himself.

I'm trying to unsubscribe from his email service. I've tried his Instagram, the support@ email address...Links to the members area in his newsletter don't work. And in January there was a payment of 50 dollars deducted from my credit card for the second time. Last year I also had contact with the support team to unsubscribe me, but apparently they failed to do this.
Edit: After my complaint here the support team handled my request and they reimbursed me.

Mark's a great teacher.

Mark teaches you how to read the markets and individual stocks. He teaches how to spot a stock that has a high probability of either rising or falling. I've made three trades this week. One trade The Pattern Trader recommended netted me a 154%gain and the other two I made(from what I've learned from Mark over the last two tears) were up 500% and 55% this week. Mark's a great person and enjoys teaching you how to become successful traders from his 30+ years of experience.
If you're wanting to learn how to trade the markets, I recommend that you give The Pattern Trade a try.

There is no way to contact Pattern Trader to get refund

I have followed The Pattern trader weekly advisory for a number of years and find Mark’s advise useful. I wanted to sign up for his tactical trading room but decided not to because his new website which was set up 6 to 8 months ago does not work. When you click on the members login area or the “ contact us” icon they don’t work and have never worked.

There website may not function properly but I found that if you email them than they will respond within a couple days.
Just email them at patterntrader.com
Thanks Mark!

I can now trade the markets

wow, I,m flabbergasted by some of the absolte garbage written here. The negative remarks astound me. I found thepatterntrader several years ago and it was the first and only honest and transparent and informative platform I found after 10 years of searching.
This is the real deal, and Mark is a mine of trading information. Thanks Mark for the help and Kindness.

Run away from this program

Don't buy this program. Here's why -
Mark's contracts promise:
1) 1:1 coaching
2) training materials
3) a consultation with a financial advisor
4) intimate and unprecedented access to himself
5) a personal 5-year trading plan to get you to $200k a year in profits no matter what size your account is when you start
6) a guarantee that if you don't hit the $200k goal that he'll refund your fee ($5k) and another $25k
------------------------------------------------------------
None of these things were delivered. None. And he doesn't issue refunds. Not even partial refunds.

There's no customer support, so when I asked about these things on the Skool platform (their community platform) I received threats of violence and personal harm (packed with vulgar language) from a couple of his keyboard commandos. Mark did nothing to stop it.

Honestly, IMO he doesn't care about me, you, or anybody else in his program. He only cares about getting your hard earned money.

Mark and his previous team had hidden…

Mark and his previous team had hidden agenda. They will trap you in to their webinars thinking that nothing like their education. They will let you sign for their The Pattern Traders program and will provide you long agreements to show that they will refund you if you are not satisfied. This is another way to show that they are trustworthy. Once you got trapped they will take your money and then got stuck with nothing but Live Tactical Trading room on zoom while Mark Shawzin will only look at some charts based on weekly time frames and then tell you that he don’t know. Listen we paid you our hard earned money not to listen to you saying that you don’t know. We though you are an experienced traders but it seems that you are another market educator clown.

After his team left him, they started another scamming group called Trading Cafe and Trading Academy and used educators that does not have any experience in the market as traders. All they do is they create courses similar to what is available online for free and will let you think that it is valuable but then they will sell it to you for a fee. Recently they have asked us to stop sharing our trading ideas with traders because they are having a hiding agenda to attract more people into their paid subscription.
I found this website is runs by another market educators clowns and it should be closed to save others money from being scammed with low value courses that are very highly priced.
Also this scammers does not stay under one name, so they don't get noticed and always will open an new website and runs similar business to drag more people in.

Mark you should be honest and sincere to return back our money.

Hi Loila. Thank you for expressing your concerns some of which are valid let me start by confirming that I conduct three sessions per week of the tactical trading room in which I share my training which includes how to analyze price charts I also share specific trades some of which have made three and 400 per cent so far from being unsure I am an extremely confident and adept traitor
That being said You are absolutely correct I had a marketing partner Peter Visser -who stole my mailing list and torched (destroyed) all of my intellectual property -including my website and trading courses. Peter hijacked (stole) my email list to start a competitive business called the Trading Cafe. I in no way endorse Peter or the Trading Cafe. I am extremely apologetic that you have had a negative experience and would be more than happy to make it up to you by offering you three free months of the Tactical Trading Room webinar series. Please contact us at support@thePatternTrader.com, and we would be more than happy to set you up with a registration link for the tactical trading room. Once again my apologies for your inconvenience

Be an Adult about your decisions

"The Pattern Trader (“TPT”) does not hold itself out as a Stock (“RIA”) or Commodity Trading Advisor (“CTA”). Given this representation, all information and material provided by TPT is for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice"

I found Marks Educational services almost 5 years ago, as a novice I understood basic economic lingo. Marks company promised education and LIVE trading sessions that provided a teaching environment platform. Mark has never promoted his platform as a trading advisory. If you choose to join his services he does deliver what he has always promised to provide " EDUCATION".

So, be an adult about your decision, do your research and dont blame other people, just because you bought a service provider that you did no research on- previous to your purchase.

As an EDUCATIONAL SERVICE PROVIDER, his 30+ years in the Trading Industry has provided my trading strategies with Knowledge and Wisdom, that no other Educational platform has provided.

Before I purchased his ELite Membership- I spent 1 yr joining his free Live Educational Sessions.
When I have struggled to apply strategies to my trades, I am an Adult about it, and I figure out " What I lack in understanding" rather then blame the people who taught me.

I will always support Mark as an EDUCATOR.

Tactical Trading Room and Mark are Absolutely Amazing

What an Amazing Trader you are Mark. I have grown so much since I joined you and my account has also grown with it, from £8,000 in 2020 to a staggering £98,000. Every session we have is an incredible experience, the Tactical Trading Room absolutely Rocks. Always learning.

Your quality teaching, guidance is absolutely amazing and cannot be matched anywhere

Despite the market turbulence, Volatility, I manage to make huge profits by being patient, listen to Mark and execute profitable trades.

Thank you Mark Tons for your teaching, incredible passion. I cannot express how fortunate I am to have met you and cannot thank you enough for the time you give at the Tactical Trading Room, both for myself and the rest of the Pattern trading community. I owe you my trading success. Thank you as Always.

Shawzin does not keep his promises

Shawzin does not keep his promises. Just before today’s webinar he asked everyone to post a good review so he can hunt new people to buy his program. He charges high fees but he doesn’t deliver on what he mentioned on his agreement. Simple things you won’t get an email from him after you paid. He will always provides different excuses. Plus there is no refund if you are not satisfied. Basically, your money will be gone.

All reviews below are from members who are with him for long time. Which means that even after 5 years or so they are not successfully trading in which they need his guidance. This is not good at all.

Plus he charges different prices for different people so be careful.

Mark has tons of experience and many…

Mark has tons of experience and many years in the markets. Why would you want to learn from less experience? It would be best if you had the mindset to trade price action. You must refrain from being a quitter with trading. There is no golden grail. The one-star reviews I am reading about don't put in the effort and hard work to learn. They get frustrated and put down Mark because they haven't spent time learning. Trading is not for the weak. I have been learning for 12 years now and am mastering it. People overtrade, and that is where they go wrong. You need to pick your fights; with price action it is the only way! Marks way! I have been with Mark for over eight years, so it must be helpful if I remain here. Indicators might help but will get you into trouble, I know, I have tried them all! Price action will help you pick your fights, and you might lose 1% per trade with the opportunity to make profits of 5, 10, or 20% on reasonable entries and ride them out for higher. Don't micro-day trade where you are continually stopped out. Cheers!

Maybe Mark is a great trader

Maybe Mark is a great trader but since I joined his community there are no learning materials such as training videos or learning lessons. He charged me alot of money for Zoom calls only while his agreements was stating more than this.
In addition, when he saw that he was losing in the live market he switched again to trading options and started promoting his options course and wants us to pay more.

I am not sure about his situation, I went ahead and checked about his company registration in USA and found out that the company is registered as a consultancy therefore he is not allowed to teach. Especially financial instruments.
I also lost his latest trading recommendation on NVDA and MOU. His program is not worth investing in it.
You might see the previous recommendation of clients who were with him for years but since his program changed a lot I totally don't recommend it for new clients.

Don't join the Pattern Trader

This is my genuine experience and review of the pattern trader and Mark Shawzin to help others decide whether or not to join.

They charged me $10,000 for a two year membership which is one of the most expensive programs out there and after 6 months I have not continued and will not be continuing with them.
The attraction was that they seemed genuine and the Elite program I joined should have helped me to become a skilled trader and the fact that Mark gives daily trade recommendations should have helped to pay the investment back.
Marks trades lost and continued to loose money. They said be patient but 6 months of loosing money was enough. How can I aspire to break even and then be profitable when the expert is just loosing money.
The training is non existent. A few patterns and channels that you can get from any book. There is no real clear strategy or edge you are left to work out your own strategy.
The daily sessions with Mark are useful to have a general view of the market but it doesn't teach you how to trade.
The 4 coaching sessions were useful but again they don't teach you how to trade.
They do give a guarantee but don't honour it. I didnt ask for the $25,000 guarantee or a refund I only asked to down grade to a cheaper program and Mark refused.
In summary an extremely disappointing experience. My conclusion is that they make their money from cleaver marketing and selling training but not from trading.
