This thread is 3 years old but as of today, I asked IB if i can trade spot Fx in my SEP IRA . They said only on a 1:1 leverage. I then talked to a couple of Self Directed IRA custodians and one of them emailed me a list of fx brokers that allow leveraged spot Fxtrading in an IRA. Furthermore, the suprising thing is that the rep told me that there are no US rules (IRS SEC,etc) that forbids spot fx trading in IRA account-that any restriction is a business decision by individual brokers. Any one hear otherwise.... any broker suggestions? Thanks .
