I would suggest the same, any meta trader account should do nicely. As far as brokers goes, I use tradersway, alpari and fxcm and of the lot, fxcm offers some great newbie packages..just check out their demo.
But when it comes to going live, I would suggest that you do your own research as what works for one trader need not necessarily work for others. Check out the broker, find out what they offer, do the grunt work, check independent review sites, the works and opt for the one you think is the best fit. And start small, pref micro. Good luck.
