    ib freezing up

    TWS will freeze like that if you open another TWS window such as a price chart, bulletin notice, etc. It seems to come back after a while but it's very frustrating when it happens. During these frozen periods, QuoteTracker can't talk to TWS and it will complain about not being able to log in.

    Searching for stocks through IB?

    I think the closest you'll get is creating a Market Scanner page in TWS.

    You are no longer safe! Personal Stock Accounts can be raided!

    Back when Roosevelt confiscated all gold, it was kind of a joke anyway. Very few people came forward. Back then lots of people kept physical gold, even if it was a small amount particularly because of the US minted gold coins. 1's and 0's in computers are *way* easier to confiscate.

    Hey, what happens when your short call gets assigned? You'd normally end up short the stock.

    Long only day trading

    Cash is a position. All the volume will go out of the market. That can't be good.

    Would the short ban apply to index futures?

    I doubt it. Their goal is to stop individual companies from being "ruined" by short sellers.

    can't stay discplined

    Mark Douglas' "Trading in the Zone" is what I read. I still haven't "grokked in fullness" what he was trying to convey. Still, the focus on techniques for identifying and believing in your edges is critical. I didn't pick this book at random off the shelf. It was recommended through...

    Work until you die?

    Depends on your "lifestyle requirements". You could prolly live a comfy work-free life in a double-wide somewhere in the sticks.
