Degenerate gambler here trying not to blow up my tiny accounts. Using fidelity, i started out with a standard cash account then decided that trading inside a roth would be better so I've been doing that (i believe there are tax benefits in a roth that a standard acct doesn't offer, not certain)
Ultimately I'd like to be able to withdraw some gains periodically without getting hit with fees & fines. From what i understand i can withdraw from my roth up to what I've put in, but not 100% clear on that.
Can someone please eli5 pros and cons of trading/wheeling in different account types? Thank you for your time!
