Is there a limit to how many trades one can make per year in a Roth?

Any penalties from having too many trades inside of a Roth?

Why would you be wanting to make a bunch of trades?


Eta: as far as I know, there are no limitations with regards to the IRS, but I may be mistaken. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

No you can do whatever you want inside of it, but you're just going to rack up commissions.

No limits, you can trade pretty much anything too depending on the brokerage.

I'm calling it now. His $5500 contribution will be worth $2800 by year end.

I used to trade frequently with my IRA account but that's only because it's a supplement to the 401K which is my primary retirement account.

Lately I haven't had enough time to keep up with things enough to justify it so I had to spread out my account over a few ETFs and just leave it alone.

Thanks. I already have a 401k through work which is my primary as well.

Have a cash account for active trading which I have had for years. Just opened a Roth and made my first purchase under it and was wondering if there are penalties for trading too much within it. Looks like the answer is no.

Why do you have two separate 401Ks? Does your company not allow you to convert your traditional 401K to a Roth?
