1R Lock™
Structured End-of-Day Trading Program
45 Years of Pattern Mastery.
Structured, Risk-Defined Trades.
Before the Close.
— Mark Shawzin, Founder · The Pattern Trader
After four decades of studying and trading price patterns through multiple market cycles, I've refined one discipline: filter thousands of charts down to only the trades that qualify — before the market closes.
Each setup arrives fully structured — precise entry, predefined stop, and clearly mapped profit targets at 1× and 2× your risk.
No intraday noise. No impulse decisions. No guesswork.
Structure over emotion. Risk before reward.

Most Traders Don't Have
a Strategy Problem.
They Have a Structure Problem.
📉
No defined edge
Chasing setups, switching strategies, following tips — never knowing if your approach has true positive expectancy over time.
😰
Emotion overrides discipline
Moving stops, exiting winners early, revenge trading after losses. A system without structure is just gambling with extra steps.
⏰
Unsustainable time demands
You built a career, not a day-trading operation. Staring at screens all day isn't a life — it's a second job that usually loses money.
The Edge
This Is Not About Prediction.
It's About Positive Expectancy.
The market cannot be predicted with certainty. That's not the goal. The goal is a repeatable process with a statistical edge — applied consistently over time.
Win
Slightly more than half — a modest structural edge is all that's required
Define
Keep every loss to exactly 1R — the number you chose before you entered
Allow
Let asymmetric upside run — 2R winners do more work than 1R losers undo
Repeat
Execute consistently — over time, structure compounds and emotion destroys
Over time, structure compounds.
Emotion destroys.
Verified Track Record
The Results Reflect
the Discipline.
The 1R Lock methodology is built around repeatable structure — not aggressive position sizing or prediction-based trading. Performance is tracked transparently. Defined entries. Defined exits. Defined risk. No hindsight. No signal revisions. Only documented execution.

⚠️
Critical Distinction: This is an End-of-Day Entry Program
Setups are posted at 3:30–3:45 PM EST and entered during the final minutes of the trading session — not after hours, not the following morning. Members who attempt to enter the next day are not following the 1R Lock™ structure and cannot expect the same results documented in the track record.

How 1R Lock™ Works
01
By 3:30–3:45 PM EST
Setup Posted
Mark's pattern analysis identifies high-probability end-of-day setups. Each setup is posted publicly to the Skool.com community with the full trade structure — before the close.
02
Last 2 Minutes of Trading
Enter at the Close
You enter the position at or near the market close — not the next morning. This is a critical structural element of the program. Entry at the close. Overnight holds. No intraday monitoring required.
03
Immediately After Entry
Orders Set & Walk Away
Place your stop loss and two profit target orders with your broker immediately after entry. The 1R target exits half the position and moves your stop to breakeven. The 2R target closes the remainder.
04
As Targets Are Hit
1R Locked, 2R Trails
When price reaches 1R, half the position exits and your stop moves to breakeven — the initial risk is permanently locked in. The remaining half runs toward the 2R target or exits within 5 days.
🔒 Limited to 250 Members
Why Membership Is Capped
The 1R Lock™️ program is permanently limited to 250 members. This is not a marketing gimmick — it is a market mechanics requirement. Every member in this program enters positions in the final minutes of the trading day. Too many participants executing the same signals at the same time degrades fill quality for everyone. We cap membership to protect the edge. Once 250 seats are filled, we close the doors. A waitlist will be maintained for future openings.
Hard cap at 250 — no exceptions
Protects fill quality for every member
Waitlist opens when doors close
250 Total Seats — Three Tiers
This is how you protect an edge. You don't scale it until it breaks. You cap it where it works.

Program1R Lock™
"I began studying price patterns over 45 years ago — across bull markets, bear markets, crashes, manias, and sideways churn. The 1R Lock framework is the distilled result."
Mark Shawzin began his career on Wall Street at EF Hutton before moving through Drexel Burnham and Merrill Lynch — executing trades at the institutional level across every type of market environment over four decades.
The Pattern Trader methodology was not built from theory. It evolved through experience — through 120,000+ executed trades, multiple complete market cycles, and the hard-won understanding of what separates consistent results from random ones.
That understanding reduces to one discipline: define the risk before the trade, filter everything that doesn't qualify, and let structure do the work.
1R Lock™ is the concentrated expression of that career. One framework. Defined risk. Repeatable structure — posted publicly before every entry, transparent on every exit.

Before You Join
What exactly do I receive each day?
You receive 4–5 trade signals after market close. Each signal includes the ticker symbol, direction (long or short), exact entry price, stop loss price, and profit target. Everything you need is spelled out — just place the orders with your broker.
Do I need to watch the markets all day?
Absolutely not. That's the beauty of 1R Lock™. Signals are delivered end-of-day. You review them in the evening, set your orders, and go about your day. Most members spend less than 10 minutes per day on this.
What does "1R" mean?
1R means "one unit of risk." If you risk $250 per trade, that's your 1R. Every trade is structured so your maximum loss is 1R. When trades win, they often return 2R, 3R, or more. Over 43 trades, the system has produced +8.13R — meaning for every dollar risked, you gained significantly more than you lost.
What account size do I need?
1R Lock™ works with any account size. The position sizing is percentage-based, so whether you start with $5,000 or $500,000, the returns scale proportionally. We recommend risking 1% per trade for conservative growth or 2% for more aggressive compounding.
How is this different from other signal services?
Three things set 1R Lock™ apart: (1) Complete transparency — every trade is documented with entries, exits, and results. (2) Risk-defined — your maximum loss per trade is always predetermined. (3) 25 years of Wall Street expertise — this isn't some algo or black box. It's Mark Shawzin's pattern-based methodology, proven over decades and 120,000+ trades.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts, no commitments, and no hoops to jump through. Cancel anytime from your account dashboard. No questions asked.
