It is not tax related, you pay the same tax when you take out the money.
Most IRA account has <$25k. More like PDT rule. I think you cannot have a margin IRA account as well.

Ron, where did you specifically read that you can only use certain investment vehicles (i.e. specifically not futures) for an IRA? That would seem pretty odd to me there would be a restriction on where you can put your money. Maybe i am off here. Just wanted a professional's take.
