Can futures be traded in an IRA?
Yes. But, if you would like to trade futures in your IRA account, first think carefully and understand the risks. Futures trading is highly speculative and involves the potential for loss. If you have considered the risks, the answer is that futures and futures options can be traded using qualified assets, including those held within an IRA plan. However, in order to trade these products, you will need to establish a relationship with a Custodian who will allow you engage in this activity.
