To open a Futures and Options IRA

Published in: Open a Futures, Options, or FX Trading Account
Trade futures and options in an IRA without paying hefty custodian fees!

Opening a trading account to trade futures and options requires two separate applications; one for an account with the clearing firm and one for an account with the custodian. 

Click here to begin your trading account application, you will find the custodian application below.

You are free to choose any custodian that you see fit,  but we recommend Midland IRA because they offer very competitive custodian fees.  Complete both of the applications below and submit them, along with a picture ID, by scan and email, fax, or mail to:

All futures and options custodians charge annual fees, but Midland is very competitive.  You might also want to consider IRA Services Trust (https://www.iraservicestrust.com/).
