Most end up being about 4 to 6 months away when we begin. From there, we may adjust timing based on what the individual stock does and how long we want to be in the trade. All of the adjustments are taught in great detail in our book, The Blueprint. Find it on the RadioActiveTrading.com site under products...it will change how you invest and look at investing forever!

I did call them and one of the agents said it's their policy for retirement accounts and nothing can be done :( So, I'll take a look at some other brokers. P.S. what would be your recommendation as far as length of the protective puts? Meaning how far in advance you consider it? Is there any predefined period of time or it depends on specific stock situation? Thanks Kurt,

They really really realy should let you do this in your IRA. Try this out and if you can't get anyone with a lick of sense on the phone, then I can suggest a number of brokers that will let you roll your IRA over. Happy Trading!; Oh, and YEAH.

It's ridiculous to allow you to do risky strategies like buying long, unhedged options without reference to the capital that you have on hand... or allow you to do covered calls without protection... and say that it's in your best interest. Geez. I have a multi-step procedure for dealing with this problem once and for all:

1) Ask to speak with someone that has a pulse.

2) Point out that married puts predefine risk, as do collars, whereas covered calls do NOT… and they’re lettin’ you do that already.

3) See if the manager/broker/owner has their head lodged within their hindquarters… they MAY just grant you a higher clearance or at least allow the trade if you are working with a broker in the office.

I'm cleared for Level 1 trading. Any help? thanks, Aleks Hi Kurt,

I'm also trying out the Fission product for a month. So far, I continue to be intrigued. I'm a conservative investor, am retired and am trading in my IRA, so a methodolgy that starts by locking in my maximum loss is right up my alley. Thanks for responding to my first inquiry and encouraging me to try this out. Kurt
