I'm flying to Houston on Thursday, a trading group is almost certainly going to sponsor myself and a team to write a new ECN bridge from MT4 server to the clients. After doing this we should have most of a decent system to trade using Python directly into any ECN or bank. The Currenex bridge is crap, we're getting about 17% slippage using it and it fails horribly and stops doing TP, SL, pending and manual trades. Uber fail.

For people who don't want to rewrite everything in Python, we might have a white label setup with the trading group allowing people to trade their EA and MT4 clients on ECN. I know the trading group wants at least 3 ECN connections, so you should have a big choice of places to trade. I don't know if we'll be able to white label, but I'm fairly confident we'll have something working soon.

P.S. I finally have a Great EA. I'm the only indicator used, it does about 80% of the work. Thankfully I only need to check it a few times a week it appears.
good job man, keep on moving
