Ibrahim, Thank you for taking the time to write this. Reading it honestly meant a lot. What I really appreciated was what you took away from the webinar. I shared a number of setups that morning that fit the criteria I look for in an A+ trade - but you didn’t just randomly jump into a stock because I mentioned it. You saw the structure. You understood the opportunity. You executed the trade. And that’s really the lesson I try to communicate. Trading isn’t about finding someone who can point out the next winning stock. The real skill is learning how to recognize a quality setup, understand where the risk is, and have the discipline to let the process work. After 45 years in the markets, one thing I know for certain -confidence doesn’t come from one trade. It comes from having a repeatable process you can trust over time. That’s exactly why I built the 1R Lock™ approach - to bring structure, discipline, and consistency to a process that becomes emotional for so many traders. You got a small glimpse of that process, applied it, and I’m thrilled it worked out for you. Congratulations on the trade, Ibrahim - and more importantly, congratulations on approaching it the right way. Thanks again for being part of the webinar and sharing your experience. It’s exactly why I still enjoy teaching after all these years. Continued success, Mark Shawzin Founder, The Pattern Trader & 1R Lock™

Dan, Thank you for taking the time to write this. It means a lot - especially coming from someone who has been part of The Pattern Trader and Tactical Trading Room community for such a long time. What I appreciate most about your comments is what you focused on — not just the winning trades, but the importance of -discipline, structure, and protecting capital.- That is one of the biggest shifts traders make when they start becoming more consistent. The focus moves away from trying to predict every move and toward having a process they can trust. The markets will always give us winning trades and losing trades. The difference comes from how we manage them - controlling risk, staying patient, and allowing the math to work over a series of opportunities. It has been great watching your growth and seeing you embrace that approach. Your results are a reflection of the work, discipline, and consistency you’ve brought to the process. That is exactly what I hoped 1R Lock™ would provide - a clearer framework to help traders remove emotion, define risk, and approach the markets with more confidence. Thank you again for your continued support, your trust, and for being such an important part of the community. Best regards, Mark Shawzin Founder, The Pattern Trader & 1R Lock™

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

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
