I don’t understand why there are free systems for forex (via Bulldog), but not free systems for futures (like with OpenECry or others)?? There already is autotrading with them.  
  
  
  
Its seems like an opportunity that would appeal to traders and expand your biz, if the forex version does that…

It’s a business decision made by each broker. (The broker subsidizes the cost of the system, directly or indirectly.) While I too would like to see this model adopted by more brokers, it will probably take some time to see such adoption.
