Show notes: http://optionalpha.com/show56

With more than 32k option traders in our program now, I can tell you honestly that I've seen just as many 7-figure IRA accounts as I have 7-figure margin accounts in the last eight years. Many new traders think that trading options in an IRA account limit your ability to make money and generate income. They hear stories about all the "restrictions" brokers place on new accounts that prevent you from making high probability trades and quit before actually learning how to work within the system. 

But does trading in an IRA account vs. a traditional margin make or break successful traders? Given all of the favorable tax advantages that an IRA account has, it'd be rash to write them off as you start or continue your career trading options. Yet, that's what most traders do. They blindly assume that margin accounts offer the best opportunity to make money. And although brokers restrict certain activities by law, the reality is that using your IRA account for options trading can be incredibly beneficial.

In today's show, I'll roll through my Top 7 Tips for IRA traders to help you leverage your IRA to trade options. Plus, I'll present examples of how you can convert the undefined, or naked, options strategies that we often trade as part of our PRO and ELITE membership levels into their "IRA Approved" counterparts. Enjoy!
