Where are you looking that you cannot find brokers with rates less than $2.40 a side ($4.80 RT) and no platform fee? Even IB is less than $2.40 a side.
IB's unbundled commissions start at $4.70 RT and drop at specified volume breaks.
futuresbroker.com charges $3.80 RT with a choice of 4 free platforms (NinjaTrader, Strategy Runner, QST, or CQG Trader).
Transact Futures charges $3.76 RT with a minimum of 274 RTs a month.
Lightspeed Trading charges $3.30 RT with no volume minimum and $65.00 a month futures data feed charge.
The more volume you do the better rates you can get.
