8 Scientifically Tested Chart

Patterns That "Significantly

Beat" The General Market
- Mark Shawzin, The Pattern Trader

 A Dose of The Truth
Here’s the truth that nobody wants to hear.

There are no “quick wins” when it comes to

trading.

And although you’ll be told that there are systems or

short-cuts …

…it’s utter BS.

Having traded for 40 years, including 23 years on Wall

Street, I’ve seen “new ideas” and “new ways” come and
go (mostly go).

That’s because, the only reliable way to hone your

craft and when it comes to trading is to look at the
science.

Because regardless of what the “gurus” say… they will

never out-smart thousands of comprehensive
scientific papers.

Throughout my career, I have honed my own style of

trading that I have taught to tens of thousands of
traders around the world.

But late last year, I asked my team to do some

research. I wanted to see if there was any actual
scientific evidence that backs up my trading method.

2
I wanted to know whether I was really “the only one”
doing it this way.

What my team found shocked me. I realized that I

wasn’t special AT ALL.

What We Discovered: That time I

realized I wasn’t special

One of (there are many) the most comprehensive

studies was this one.

“Foundations Of Technical Analysis:

Computational Algorithms,
Statisticalinference, And Empirical
Implementation”

It was produced by Andrew W. Lo, Harry Mamaysky

and Jiang Wang in the year 2000.

This scientific study reviewed over 1500 trades, and

tested eight chart patterns.

I know what you’re thinking: “Mark, this paper

was published over 20 years ago buddy… get
with the times”

Yeah… and since then this study has been cited 1,370
times.

3
From the year 2000-2020 the results have STILL not
been disproved.

What was scary was that these chart patterns are

practically identical to the chart patterns that I have
used throughout my career.

They worked in 1980, and they work decades later in

the 2020s.

A WARNING: You can’t use the

patterns in a vacuum

The science is very clear. Traders get chopped to

pieces if they simply jump into trades without
knowing WHEN to actually enter a trade in these
patterns

So, whatever you do, don’t just jump into the markets
when you spot these.

More specifically, I’ll tell you about a training I’m

doing where we go over what the science says about
“The Perfect Entry” and the “paint-by-numbers”

4
approach that you can use to enter markets at
precisely the right time.

And it’s not just me.

There are thousands of traders who are using these

patterns to make life changing money.

I have attached a few emails from them in this

document.

Here’s one:

That may be a bit small so let me summarize that

email here.

Emilio made £6,418. That’s almost $8,000 in just a

few trades.

A few weeks later he sent me another email, with even

more screenshots of his account:

5
He made over $10,000 in just a few short days.
His investment account had grown to over $100,000.

I’ll give you more detail about the training after we go

through all 8 patterns.

 The BIG Warning

Before you can use these price patterns, there are four
things that you need to understand.

1. When these patterns are valid and when they

are invalid?
2. The timeframes that they work in?
3. How long to hold onto them for?
4. Where exactly to enter them?

Unless you understand these four things you’ll suffer.

That’s because, the pattern itself is only one step in a

4-part layered approach to trading.

If you would like to learn the entire in-depth

scientific approach to growing your trading account
through a proven scientific methodology, then I have
some good news for you.

I’m running a training called:

How to Scientifically Get Life Changing

Returns in the Forex, Commodities, and Stock
Markets

More on that in a minute.

First, let’s take a look at these patterns in a bit more

detail.

9
 How To Use These
Patterns

On the surface, this seems a little too good to be true.

And it is.

As I mentioned already, the pattern is simply one

step, in a four-step trading strategy.

For example…

If a market is in phase 4 or phase 5 (more on this in

our training), then a reversal must have happened.

This reversal becomes the governing pattern.

If the reversal is heading up, then you are more likely

to make a profitable trade if you take it in the
direction of the phase (Friesen et al. 2009).

The patterns that happen within that phase will

confirm the direction of the market, and when price is
ready to break out, you’ll have momentum on your
side.

Foltice & Langer (2015) studied how momentum

effected returns. According to them: “We find that
the strategy can indeed work for individual
investors with initial investment amounts of
$5,000.”

Too complicated?

Let’s simplify it.

 List of Potential
Governing Chart Patterns

The screenshots from the scientific studies are rather

hard to spot.

So, I decided to draw them out of you here.

In the training, I’ll show you some real trades while

showing you scientifically backed up rules you must
follow before entering trades.

For now, let’s keep it super simple.

11
If you can time these right, you can make a lot of
money.

In a study by Friesen et al (2009) they examined

35,000 trading scenarios.

Here’s what they found with regards to the double

top.

12
This is the expected price movement.

Once a valid double top is formed, you can expect

price to continue moving in that direction for 100
days or more.

Notice I said ‘valid’.

Nonetheless. If you know where prices are headed for

the next 100 days… you can extract some decent
money from them.

Especially in these market conditions.

scientifically tested…

Join the free training.

It is going to be 2-3 hours of content.

In this training you’ll discover:

• How a study from 1972 found a controversial

trading strategy that “generated an annual
net return of 115.8%” in the Forex markets.

13
• Is it scientifically possible to use past prices &
information to predict where the market is
going to go? I’ll share five old-school
studies.

• Strip away the jargon and complications and

you’ll see that the “sure fire way” to make
massive amounts of cash lies in these two
facts.

• The findings of a massive ‘study of studies’

conducted by Dr. Irwin. He looked at ‘What we
know about the profitability’ of trading.

• What 95 peer reviewed

scientific studies
spanning 4 decades
revealed about “long term
sustainable trading
strategies”.

• Three scientifically backed up rules in trading

that you MUST follow (ignore these and you risk
failing before you even started)

• Why trading on short timeframes is crazy,

emotional and time-consuming, and the exact
timeframes that science tells you to focus on
instead.

14
• Why an
English
statistician
that died in
1911 may be
most important
person to your trading success (and the big lesson
that you can directly apply to your trading today to
generate better results)

• Should you be using the news to make

trading decisions? (Whether politics, war or
world events?) I’ll share what the science says
and the comprehensive answer.

• The ‘newbie’ trading mistake that many

experienced traders continue to make (and why it
will always result in you making terrible decisions).

• What science says about “The Perfect Entry”

and the “paint-by-numbers” approach that you
can use to enter markets at precisely the right
time.

• How to layer scientific methods for more

accurate trades by using a
‘Governing Pattern’ and
then honing in on a
‘intermediate pattern’.

• The science behind reversal bars and how

to spot them. These will guide your entries.

15
 We’ll look at how these generate the momentum
needed for both quick wins and long term trades.

• The shocking discovery that proved just how

much covering up and laziness was involved
in one of the biggest academic studies this
industry has ever seen (and the shocking reasons
behind this).

• Why 136 scientific papers cited a famous 1998

study (including 107 of them from the last
decade). HINT: This study revealed exactly how
and when to enter a trade.

• A detailed breakdown of the five-step trading

methodology that I’ve been using for 40 years
(and thousands of traders are using to drive
results).

PS… Here’s a question I get all the time:

“Mark, if you’re so successful why the hell are

you doing this? Shouldn’t you be trading alone
on a beach somewhere?”

That’s a good question. It is also a fair question.

Reason #1: I like it.

17
It gives me fulfilment. Trading is a lonely game. It
takes me about 10-20 minutes each day to trade.

Yes, I play tennis.

Yes, I spend time with my family.

Yes, I go on vacations.

However, after that I still have a lot of time to kill. So

I needed another hobby.

And without growth life gets boring. No matter how

many people you have around you.

For me, that growth comes from passing on my

knowledge.

And I am not alone. Psychologists from all over the

world agree that passing on your knowledge and
teaching others gives people great fulfilment.

In fact, before starting The Pattern Trader I was

going to become part time teacher.

Getting emails from other traders and their success

stories is just amazing. There is no better feeling in
the world.

It is a huge ego boost and makes you feel like you

were put on this earth for a reason – to help others.
Sounds cheesy, but it is true.

Also, running this business was a challenge to me. It

was something I had never done before. Simply put. I
am doing this because I really like doing it.

18
Reason #2: It makes money, and I like
money.
First of all, it costs a lot of money keeping this
business operational. I don’t know how to set up a
member’s area, a website, an email service,
automations, and whatever else is involved.

Therefore, I have to hire people. In total I have 6 full

time staff members and 3 part time. I also outsource a
lot of stuff. All in all, I probably indirectly have 15
people to pay.

Why would I spend $50,000 per month to give

people this information for free? I could technically
afford it, but it will be painful.

By charging for my products and services, I run a

sustainable business that makes money. Even though
that money is small compared to my trading income,
it is still money.

It’s funny, because nobody seems to ask

Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,
or Warren Buffet why they are still
working? And those guys have made a lot
more money than I have.

So if you ever see special promotions, limited time

sales, or general “business/salesy” stuff. Know that its
because I am running a business and it gets more
people to sign up.

19
 • The more people sign up the more emails and
testimonials I get
• The more emails and testimonials I get the more
people sign up.
• The more people sign up the better the business
does.

Here’s the recap:

1. Trading alone is not fulfilling to me. I love

teaching.

2. Having this business makes me even more

money. I like money.

3. I don’t actually do that much. I have a team of 9

people I pay to set everything up for me
(including this page you are reading now)

4. The success stories I get of changing people’s

lives really makes me feel awesome. I now have
a second family.
