IRAs cannot be enabled for margin trading, which prevents you from using certain options strategies. For example, if you sell short puts, they must be completely cash-secured. Otherwise this strategy is not permitted in an IRA. Short put positions have a limited profit potential with a substantial amount of risk.
Think of an IRA like a basket where you hold different kinds of investments and assets that get favorable tax treatment. The money you put in an IRA can be invested in securities like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Or it can be held in non-investment accounts like a savings or certificate of deposit (CD). What you put in an IRA is up to you because you manage every aspect of it. You open the account, send contributions, and choose how to allocate your money.
