Yes, it is not the question of your IRA account per se, it is the mutual funds you are trading (I assume?). So even if it is a regular non-IRA account, if you are trading mutual funds too often, they would say you practice market timing, so will ban you for some days<g>. I have the same issue with my deferred income account. So now I just park all the money in a money market account

BTW, after year 2000, SEC also imposed no free ride rule in IRA account. Means, you have to wait until the fund settled to trade again.

Move your assets to a discount broker and trade with ETFs... no restrictions.

Mutual funds do that. Problem is it handcuffs you and sets you up for a fall. About the time you get POed and stop trading is the time they take the market against you.
You're better off trading stocks and use ETFs as a proxy for open ended mutual funds.
