If you decide to break one Roth IRA into two, can you deposit $3000 each year for both of them.?
Quote from mktman:
Hmm.
Roth or any IRA is on a cash basis not margin.
Correct?
Therefore, T +3 applies.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Yep, except options are T+1. It would be cool if IB allowed futures trading in an IRA. I don't know why they don't, since some of their competitors do.

You can trade Futures In an IRA Account!
Millenium Trust is the Custodian for several of my clients IRA Accounts through GNI or Man. I am sure that IB offers this!

Show me a firm that allows futures trading in an account, and I'll show you a firm that will be a) in hot water with regulators or 2) out of business soon when the lawyers start bringing arbitration against them.
Quote from crackedback:
Why would they be in trouble with regulators. You aren't shorting or buying anything on margin when trading futures.
Lawyers would go after their own mothers if they thought they could score a buck........![]()

LOL
An IRA buy definition is a conservative account for long term investing and planning and is always viewed with the highest standard of "know your customer"....If a client trades actively a retirement account and loses...watch out...the NASD and the lawyers will ask the firm to show what they did to protect the clients funds, why did they allow him to trade actively ect....I would go so far as to say this: If they allow futures trading and active trading in the account....I'll open an acct. with them.....I can't lose!!! I'll throw 2k in , trade like a maniac and if I make a bunch of $$ great...but if i lose the $$, I'll get not only the 2k back but probably punitive and legal fees of about 5k on top of that....Hmmmmmmm![]()
