Trader status and expense deduction

Reading this thread has raised a number of questions. What effect
does it have on trader status and expense deduction if one trades
mainly in a custodial IRA account where all income is deferred until
taken out of the account? In my logic it seems that the IRS might
object to a expense deduction because all of the income is deferred.
Also there might be only a few taxable transactions to report even
though there may have been many non-taxable trades in the IRA account.
A case could be made for apportioning of the expenses between the
tax deferred account and a taxable account.

What position would a CPA or a tax expert take on the above issues or
does anyone have direct experience with these issues? I would welcome
a few answers after April 15th.

Thank you,

John
