I ran across http://www.scottrade.com/ a while back. Looked interesting enough for me to mark for later reading. It might be more in your line Za... It's set up for beginning traders with little or no minimums, no trader involved in some cases etc. I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Take a look tho.

Whatever you do, don't daytrade.
I'm no stock expert, but starting last year sometime according to a new SEC rule you have to have a $25,000 equity account with your broker to daytrade. Daytrading is defined as making more than 5 trades on an identical position within a one week period. I.E. buying 1,000 shares of Intel on Monday, and selling it Friday - that's within a one week period and counts as one instance of the 5 trade limit without the equity account.
Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure that's the basics of it.
You can do futures options everything all in one account. Yes you need to break the $25k level to do all of this but trading with less is not really possible.
