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. For the majority of our customers, the best clearing firm choice is StoneX. 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, email, fax, or mail to:
Equity Trust (Midland)

Midland IRA Application (Choose "Futures/FOREX" for investment type)
All futures and options custodians charge annual fees, but Midland is very competitive in regard to fees and service. Nevertheless, feel free to shop around.
The applications aren't nearly as overwhelming as they seem. If you would like someone to walk you through the applications, please give us a call at 1-866-790(TRADE) or 1-702-947-0701.
