i'll call (i believe again) and ask... not that that'll be definitive (I don't trust cust support reps to ever give a correct answer on anything but the most trivial of Q's). i would take that that they are an "affililate" of TH, and clear thru TH, who is a clearing member... that they are self-clearing. that's a heck of a lot closer than a broker who uses a 3rd pty to clear trades. it's all fuzzy stuff anyway.

TIMBER HILL GROUP LLC THE 0275787 o PRINCIPAL APPROVED OF INTERACTIVE BROKERS LLC o PRINCIPAL APPROVED OF TIMBER HILL LLC TIMBER HILL INC 0264315 o APPROVED NFA MEMBER o REGISTERED FUTURES COMMISSION MERCHANT TIMBER HILL LLC 0264315 o APPROVED NFA MEMBER o REGISTERED FUTURES COMMISSION MERCHANT Interactive Brokers shows up as well as "APPROVED NFA MEMBER" --- ok, as long as I've cluttered up this thread w/ this nonsense, I'll just state one of the things that drew me to IB (interactive brokers) is that they have directaccess link to globex. trading is much less gratifying when done over the phone or w/ a webbrowser. which is why I'm less than enamoured that IB is moving to a java-based platform.
