Quote from Toonces:
If you have a Series 7 and trade with a pro firm (eg Echotrade), are you considered a member of an exchange? Or is the firm a member, and you're something else?
Quote from TM_Direct:
the firm is ....the NASD is not and exchange....the firm is only a member of an exchange if it is also with NYSE, CSE, PHLX ect...why are you asking??
Quote from harmonicpatrick:
So if the firm is THE member, why do I have to pay an annual fee (like 300ish) to Echotrade for PHLX membership? (I trade through ECHO)
I would like to be enlightened.
Thanks

A B/D can only have a JBO (Joint Back Office) with a clearing firm not with an Exchange such as the PHLX.
