Trading from the SEP/ROTH IRA account

i have a regular trading account which I usually trade from...but apart from that I have some cash sitting in my SEP and ROTH accounts. I usually go LONG in these accounts, but right now I have very few positions.

 

do people trade from these accounts regularly to take tax advantage...is there any known strategy?  I am in mid 30's..so still a long way to go before i cash out...so any thoughts/ideas would he helpful.

 

ps: for those who dont know the ROTH IRA...it is a retirement account where your earnings grow tax-free.

 

thanks

 

I do the majority of my trading through my Rollover IRA (401K from an old job)and I run my wife's account also. I am limited on my options and I can't really short stocks. so I have to put in my due diligence and invest for the long haul though I do have about 15-20% I keep in cash for aggressive daytrading, but I am willing to part ways with anything in my portfolio if there isn't a positive outlook. This i my nest egg so that i can retire on the beach.
