BE - Your reply makes no sense! I can trade options, straddles, EFT & futures in MY Roth IRA with Cybertrader (a division of Schwab). Why does your broker place limits on you? Perhaps it is time to get a new broker?
TC and others here have been beating the drum for a while on this, but your position does not seem to have changed! HUH?
I assume you came here for other than just entertainment purposes. The education is before you, you just need to step up to the plate and take it!
Look at the advantages to on online broker [ie MBTrading, CyberTrader or Interactive Brokers] 1. lower commissions on the trades 2. Instant self fill of the trade, no waiting for the broker's system to transfer order to floor and wait for it to be executed. No waiting to get the guy on the telephone. 3. Self placed trailing stop loss orders, even combined with self placed targets: you can 'bracket' your position with orders! 4. Trade ETFs, e-minis, etc.
The disadvantages: 1. No glossy brochures for the coffee table. 2. No free lunches. 3. No hand holding.
What do you say? Time to move the $$$ to a 'real' trading account?
