Foreword by Peter Visser

“No. I won’t do it,” he said.

“You’ve got to,” I replied. “People are talking crap about you.”

And people were. Literally one lie after the other was spewing out
about Mark Shawzin online.

I was fed up. I didn’t want my friend to be bad mouthed.

So I begged and pleaded with him to reveal some of his big trades with
PROOF.

After some back and forth, he reluctantly agreed. And trust me, since
starting The Pattern Trader in 2015, he’s never revealed his personal
trades.

Why?

Well, he doesn’t think it is relevant.

In this document today, you’ll see proof of how he made hundreds of

thousands of dollars in a matter of hours.

Not days, not weeks, not months … hours!

He likes his privacy, but he also loves teaching.

And if you are teaching countless students how to make huge big piles
of dough, then you got to back up what you’re saying.

The Pattern Trader Page 2 of 20

Yes, he’s got thousands of emails from traders thanking him for making
them life changing cash. (More on this in a minute.)

Yes, he’s got Facebook comments and proof from OTHERS that he is
the best. (Again … more on this in a minute.)

But he’s never opened up his OWN book. Or revealed his OWN trades.

He thinks there is no point.

So what if he can buy a house in cash with a single trade?

So what if a $20,000 vacation is chump change, because he just did

$318k on a Tesla trade?

So what if he has ZERO money problems and can play tennis every day,
mess around with his son, and eat $250.00 steaks like they are Skittles?

What difference does that make to someone else?

The hard truth is, it doesn’t.

Now, I have a question for you.

Yes, you. Reading the very words on this page.

Wouldn’t you be more interested in learning something if you saw how

this guy makes almost a $1 million in 30 days?

Don’t you think you’ll sit up and pay attention?

Yeah … I thought so.

The Pattern Trader Page 3 of 20

And here we are.

Mark revealed his million dollar accounts. (There are several of them.)

Mark revealed some of his trades (including losses).

And the critics and bad mouthers had to swallow their tongues.

And I had the bright idea of releasing those trades into this concise
report so that you can see them for yourself.

Especially the three Power Strategies that almost netted him “a

rock” (a big fat million).

So without rambling on too much … here, with all the dogmatism of

brevity, are the three Power Strategies responsible for this nice bit of
change.

 From the desk of Mark Shawzin.

Have a look at this very serious picture of

me to the left.

This is not me … well, not the REAL me.

I don’t really wear suits. And I don’t sit in

front of my computer each day for hours
on end. (This picture was when I first
started to advertise my business and believed I had to look the part –
believe me, results quickly trump whether I wear a tie or not.)

Most of the time I like relaxing. Spending time with my family, and
playing tennis:

I share this to demonstrate that I am not some high flying New Yorker
who watches the news 24/7.

In fact, I don’t watch any news, nor do I look at indicators, nor do I

listen to analysts.

The Pattern Trader Page 5 of 20

I use simple “Power Strategies” that do two things:

1. Firstly, they inform me that a stock is about to move BIG.

2. Secondly, they help me look at the historical precedent to tell me in

which direction something is going to move.

You see … it is easy to tell when a stock is going to move, but it is the
second part … the “which direction” bit that has everyone confused.

In the very near future, I will be doing a training on exaxctly how I do

this, so that you can see me teach it live.

Power Strategy Breakdown

I’ll keep this brief.

I look for some kind of event or crisis that’ll move a stock.

I use price action to determine the direction.

I use price action to determine where I am going to exit my position.

That’s it.

Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s a little trickier than that, which is why I
am doing a live training on it soon.

However, it essentially breaks down into those three overarching

principles.

 POWER STRATEGY #1:
External Crises + Broadening Formation
This is when you know some kind of external crisis is about to hit, or
has just hit, a specific company. That’s right. You don’t need a crystal
ball. Nor do you need insider information.

Facebook is a good example. Mark Zuckerberg got hauled in front of

Congress. That’s the external crisis.

I saw a broadening, or “widening,” formation.

Here is the Strategy Card:

Entry Call or Put Options

Hold time Between one day and three weeks, depending on the options.
Exit At top or bottom of broadening formation.
Chart Example

DEEPER EXPLANATION:

Remember when I said, “Historical Precedent”?

The Pattern Trader Page 7 of 20

It is also known as a pattern. Something that has happened in the past is
more likely to happen again in the future.

With that in mind, look at the chart below:

NASDAQ Stock Index (Weekly chart) – September, 2015

The Pattern Trader Page 8 of 20

Facebook Inc. (FB) (Daily Chart)

Trade: Bought common stock @ 156.00, Sold $166.00; Profit: +/-

$80,000

Bought Call options. Strike prices: 180.00, 182.50, 185.00; Profit: +/-
$385,000

Analysis: Facebook had fallen considerably from its highs around

$195.00 to a price of $150.00. The Company was mired in one scandal
after another. The CEO was compelled to appear before Congress to
testify about FB’s role in the Russian meddling of the 2016 US elections
(the external crisis). There were significant concerns regarding
breaches of customer privacy. The stock appeared poised to fall over a
cliff.

However, upon analyzing the chart pattern at that time, I noticed a

remarkable similarity to the chart and price action of the NASDAQ
stock index (three years earlier). I remember this chart well. In my
NASDAQ analysis to The Pattern Trader members, I accurately
predicted the huge decline in prices from the apex of a Reverse
Triangle.

The Pattern Trader Page 9 of 20

I also concluded the Reverse Triangle was not a dependable price
pattern. So when the NASDAQ fell to its (Double-Bottom) low, I also
predicted the NASDAQ would go on to make new highs. This is exactly
what happened.

As you can see, the chart of FB in April 2018 almost mirrored to the “T”
the Reverse Triangle price decline, then subsequently rose to new high
prices.

So, when FB made the Double-Bottom (bull) price pattern at the

$150.00 price level, I initially bought (a boatload) of the stock. I got out
around the $166.00 level and made about $80,000.

When FB circled back, and made a Key reversal at the $160.00 level, I
concluded that (as with the NASDAQ) it would be followed by a
monster move to new highs. (This is exactly what happened.) So, I took
a big bet, and rolled my money into the (heavily out-of-the-money) Call
options.

I bought the 180.00, 182.50, 185.00 strike prices. Remember, FB stock

was trading about $160.00 at the time of these purchases. I needed the
stock to have a huge move for these options to pay off.

I bought the FB 185.00 call options for about 0.30. I sold some of them
for $4.50, or about a 15x ROI in about three weeks.

However, based on my analysis of the NASDAQ chart (three years

earlier), I knew I had a good shot.

Two weeks later, FB stock rose over $25, and based on my analysis of FB
(NASDAQ) chart patterns, I made over $400,000 all-told (see screen-
shots below).

 POWER STRATEGY #2: Double Top
“Squared” Key Reversal Strategy
Tesla was going through all kinds of cash and liquidity problems. Their
factories weren’t performing and they couldn’t push out the cars they
promised. All of that doesn’t matter though – all of it was written on
this chart.

Double top squared refers to the fact that we have two double tops.
Couple that with a Key reversal and you’d get something explosive.

Here is the Strategy Card:

Entry Call or Put Options

Hold Between one day and three weeks, depending on the options.

Exit At the neckline bottom of the double top

DEEPER EXPLANATION: Tesla Inc. (TSLA) – Personal Trade Set-up

& Analysis

The Pattern Trader Page 12 of

Tesla Inc. (TSLA) - Daily Chart

Stock: TSLA (Tesla Inc.)

Trade: Bought PUT options. Strike prices: $290.00 and $285.00;

Profit: +$300,000

Analysis: I observed TSLA had formed a major Double-Top (bear)

price pattern, and concluded there would be an on-going price pressure
on the stock for some time.

So when prices came back and formed a (secondary) Double-Top, I was

poised to take action. I bided my time and waited for a high probability
entry. That time came on May 10, 2018, when prices shot to a high of
$313.00, and then turned around and closed on the low of the day,
around $304.00, forming a Key reversal bar.

On the very next day, the stock opened higher. Based on the previous
day’s Key reversal, I concluded this was a “BS” rally, and (aggressively)

The Pattern Trader Page 13 of

20
loaded up on TSLA PUT options. (PUT options profit when a stock
falls in price.)

Based on the very bearish price patterns and Key reversal price action
at the time, I bought TSLA PUT options with strike prices at
$290.00 and $285.00. The stock was trading at about $307.00 when I
bought these heavily out-of-the money PUT options ($15 to $20 out-of-
the money when I bought them). Additionally, I only had about 10 days
for these PUTS to fall through their respective strike prices to pay off.

One week later, TSLA stock fell from $307.00 to $270.00, and based on
my analysis of TSLA chart patterns, I made over $300,000 all-told. On
May 10, the 285.00 PUT options were trading at $1.56. On May 15, these
285.00 options were trading at $5.70, or about a 400% return in four
days.

(As you can see from my personal account snapshot, I wasn’t doing too
badly on some other positions. See screenshots below.)

 POWER STRATEGY #3:
Head & Shoulders Earnings Report
The external influence that can move a stock is more predictable than
you think.

Something as simple as an earnings report can set it off.

In this example, I made over $100k in a very VERY short period of time.

Here is the Strategy Card:

Entry Call or Put Options

Hold time Between one day and three weeks, depending on the options.
Exit A third of the way below the neckline of the formation

DEEPER EXPLANATION: Stock: MELI (Mercadolibre Inc.)

Mercadolibre Inc. (MELI) - Daily Chart

The Pattern Trader Page 16 of

Stock: MELI (Mercadolibre Inc.)

Trade: Sold stock SHORT @ $328.00; Bought PUT options. Strike

prices: $290.00; Profit: +$180,000

Analysis: For three months, MELI formed a classic Head-and-

Shoulders (bear) price pattern. Towards the end of the quarter, the
Company was going to announce its quarterly earnings after the market
close.

Betting on the outcome of (any) Company’s earnings results are

fraught with extreme risk. However, based on my observation of the
“mature” Head-and-Shoulders (bear) price pattern, and the Key
reversal bar in the trading day preceding the earnings announcement, I
felt confident in the outcome. The stock had to head lower.

Ten minutes before the market closed, I sold the stock (short) @
$328.00, and bought the $290.00 strike price PUT options. The stock
closed at $324.00 at 4:00pm (EST). Right after the close, MELI

The Pattern Trader Page 17 of

announced its earnings and the stock tanked $30, and I was able to
cover my stock, ($28 lower than my entry price) in the after-market at
$300.00, for a profit of over $60,000 in the stock … holding my
position for less than 45 minutes.

I covered my PUT options a few days later for a profit of over $120,000.

All-told, in the month of May 2018, in (one of) my personal accounts, I

made $600,000 in just five days – and over $1,000,000 in a single
month --- (See account screenshots below.)

Covered MELI Short sale:

The total profit in the end was just over $127,026.
