IRA day Trading
- Thread starter amsanborn

There is no 3 day waiting period for daytrading in an IRA for stock purchases in an E-Trade IRA. The waiting period that you refer to (as treated by E-Trade) only pertains to the time you have to wait (i.e. settlement period) for funds withdrawal.
Check with your specific broker since each one has their own house rules for IRA trading. When I was with Brownco, I had to wait for the 3 day settlement period to reuse the funds.

Can anyone please confirm if this is still true for IRA trading with Etrade, as of Dec 2006? My IRA is currently with TDAmerirade, and they do have this 3-day wait for settlement before the next trade can be place.Quote from TraderBob:
