OT Smith Barney ... options trading within IRAs.

It depends upon the account. There is a limit to the amount of money you can place into an IRA per year. That means any option trade that doesn't pan out will involve a lot of margin and there would be nasty penalties if a margin call forced a sale. Therefore you must be able to back up the IRA with other account assets - In other words you need other non-IRA accounts with enough assets to cover any eventuality within the IRA to get permission.
