Want to trade futures in your IRA?
Some investors think that you cannot trade futures in an IRA, but that’s not true.
Here are a few types of self-directed futures trading:
Standard Trading Account (For the Hands-on Investor)
- Trade futures independently with a self-directed account. Use a trading platform to execute your own trades.
- This includes accounts in the World Cup Trading Championships® or the Global Cup Trading Championship™.
Automated Trading Accounts
- Choose from a wide selection of trading systems that trade algorithmically and have those trades executed in your account on an automated basis.
AutoTrade® Accounts
- View the actual performance of professional traders on WorldCupAdvisor.com and link your account to make the same trades as they make in their own accounts at the same time and at the same price automatically. Register for a FREE Guest Membership to view performance.
Benefits of Investing With Your IRA
Building your Retirement
- Most Americans do not have enough saved for retirement, and there are contribution limits to consider, meaning most people should maximize their contributions if possible.
Earnings Growth
- The gains within self-directed IRAs and other plans accrue on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis to benefit you when you retire.
Tax Deductions Can Be Taken on Contributions to Your Self-directed IRA
- While this does not apply to Roth IRAs—most contributions to other retirement plans and self-directed IRAs are eligible for deductions on your income taxes.
Roth Self-Directed IRAs Are One of the Most Beneficial Plans Available
- All contributions are made after tax, but the earnings grow on a tax-free basis, provided that certain requirements are met.
