    The answer is no. Losses as well as gains are never recognized within an IRA. The only way you can deduct a loss in an IRA is when all the funds from all IRAs are withdrawn, and there must be basis. For an IRA, basis means nondeductible (after-tax) funds, which most traditional IRAs don't have that much of.
