This is episode 48 of the Steady Trade podcast with your host, Tim Bowen.

That was like the golden age of Shortene John.

And Stephen Johnson.

My biggest loss is like 5,000 because I'm a gunsling I'm a newbie who hasn't learned yet.

Today's episode is part one of a two-part conversation with Mark Crook.

Great to join you guys here.

Mark started trading about eight years ago.

I've been trading, gosh, since 2010.
