ROTFL on traveling overseas! I HAD to do it for decades and decades. I hate flying, particularly. I absolutely would never travel just for the fun (!) of it. Plus I like it fine right where I am.

I believe that it is indeed gambling. Above, I spent probably 10 minutes of my life writing 4 paragraphs illustrating the utter lack of difference between certain gambling games, and trading.

So poker is just luck?

Well, he is right. SPECIAL fridge not needed, but it does have to be big enough to put the fermenter inside, and needs to be able to maintain around 50 to 55 degrees. I am sure he knows more about it than I do. I am a noob at brewing. A lot of it depends on the strain of yeast used. Some types...

I don't know what this batch will smell like, yet. The first batch was a medium brown ale, and it had a very pleasing fresh baked bread aroma even while fermenting. Tastes great. Having a glass right now. I will be making that recipe again soon. I never really liked IPAs. Mostly I like a good...

Yeah thanks. I managed to keep my 10k account in one piece. If I do everything the same I should be able to keep the newer bigger account mkII together. No way am I gonna start freestyling now, or changing my position sizes from what was working for me before. I just want to survive this first...

Well, I set up an account with TD Ameritrade, downloaded and installed TOS, and here I am... I can't figure out how to hook it up to IB.

It cost me some money, yeah. I got used to it. Just be careful on the release. Your order doesn't change until you release. I find a trackball is a little more accurate than a mouse or touchpad. I am thinking that a gaming joystick would be good, actually. Haven't tried that yet. You can also...

The only issue I see with buying Greenland at a fair price, is whether or not the people would want their homeland to become part of the U.S. or not. I couldn't support it if the people didn't want it. One big problem is the subsidies. The natives wouldn't like getting shafted out of their...

Quebec could become a Parish of Louisiana.

Sometimes you get the alligator. Sometimes the gator gets you.

Well, the beer, a medium brown ale, came out great. The keg setup works good, too. And it looks like I will be able to start trading with the fully funded account on Tuesday.

Hmmmm.... I have an IB debit card. Since I am retired, I have no reason to travel overseas any more, but I am just curious if the U.S. issued IB debit card works overseas. I always had trouble finding an ATM that would work with my U.S. debit and credit cards, and the commission and flat fees...

And yeah, the interest is nice. I had a PDT lock on my account for a couple of weeks. I couldn't figure out why I seemed to have an extra $40 or so in my account the other day, when I went to transfer some more money into it. Happened once or twice before... unexplained small increase in my...

I would rather be a highly successful trader, than a guru. So far, I am neither. Just sharing what little I do know.

Wow you got a pretty good list there. Try the free trial of TradingView before you drop any bread on it. You might not be getting anything extra for your money, compared to what you already got. So the real wild card is what your screening parameters are. Most important, in my view, is Relative...

I don't know if it runs "better" under Linux. I don't have any other OS to compare it to. I have had problems with mouse sensitivity on Chart Trader. It has caused me to fumble a few times when moving orders up or down. Not really thinking it is a TWS problem though. Been too busy to investigate...

TWS does have issues, but at least it will run on Linux.

If I was consistently making $1k/day in the market, I wouldn't give two shits about "making it rich". I would not be trying to make any big, sudden changes in my overall trading plan, for sure. But that's just me, I guess. $1k/day is still way more than I ever made working, and I never lacked...
