ok legit question here cuz im a noob. If you daytrade and make gainz in your IRA acct, how do those gains get taxed? Assume that I do not take out any of the money over a 5 yr period. My financial advisor is being a dick and not letting me manage my acct. I was thinking of moving my shit over to TDAmeritrade

### REPLY:
Simply put, you don’t get taxed on Roth IRA capital gains, either short term or long term trades. But, you need to google and read a few articles about what happens when you start to collect during retirement. Also comparing vs a Traditional IRA.  
  
 I have both Roth, Traditional and a 401K. The Roth is the only one I manage myself and it’s a roller coaster, but that’s why I got it - for fun.
