I only trade spreads, I like electronic access and phone backup.
Any ideas? US markets are adequate. Must be reasonable as I take no advice.
I am looking for good spread broker that handles IRA

Are you talking about an Individual Retirement Account? Because if you are, spreads are not allowed in many brokerage firms especially the discount brokerages. Only conservative option strategies are allowed --- covered call writing and mostly recently many firms allow naked puts.

yes in an IRA - you can trade futures
I have looked at IB (interactive broker), Advanced Futures. Both deal with an IRA costodian, AF charges a $50 setup fee and $100 fee for every year but yoiu can trade anything in the account including futures spreads.
AF deals with MilleniumTrust for the IRA, their software X_Trader has spread capability but it is quite pricy.
The Millennium Trust website is: www.mtrustcompany.com
You are right about the fact that not every broker offers it and they offer IRA account differently.
