Love 'em but, for that reason, I don't doubt it. Also, I would expect a lot of daytraders are taking time off or lightening up on their trading activities due to the unusual action and low volitility of the markets especially over the past couple of months. I have.

I doubt it, but if you're worried, keep liquid stuff in a segregated and insured account.
Still, IB is a good outfit. Remember, not making money is quite different from losing it.
