Anyone have IRA and FX accounts with the same broker?

Recently I received a letter from an old employer offering to buy out an old pension and so i have decided to accept and place that into a self directed IRA. I was considering Tradeking for the IRA acct (Options/ETFS/Equities) today i researched the I idea of consolidate my brokerage accts into one- while Oanda has been fine they do not offer IRA nor Options/ETFS/Equities and wouldn't want to have a large acct with them.
TDAmeritrade seems to be the front runner right now. its ease of use - research offerings are most important at this stage as I am new to options and etfs. The IRA would consist of the Option/ETF/Stocks w/ a 2nd acct for Forex not related to the IRA.
i'll contact them in the AM and get the ball rolling on opening an acct for FX (already opened a IRA as part of my past research. though -if not for tradeking using Gain as their FX MM - i would have given them my acct as i had decided they would be my IRA broker b4 oanda decision.

sorry but what's IRA?

Individual Retirement Account. A tax-deferred retirement account for an individual that permits individuals to set aside money each year, with earnings tax-deferred until withdrawals begin at age 59 1/2 or later (or earlier, with a 10% penalty). The exact amount depends on the year and your age. IRAs can be established at a bank, mutual fund, orbrokerage.

The money you place into the account and the money earned is not taxed until it is withdraw/ At age 70 you must begin to withdraw the money. It is a nice way to save a bit of a nest egg but one cannot forget the tax aspect as uncke SAM wants his cut when it is withdrawn so planning is needed,

Due to the nature of the acct some restrictions apply - ie margins some realestate types of investments are not allowed, US citizens should be participants if the can do so,
