Choosing a broker

It's now time to stop reading the theory and jump in the water.
Yes, I am a newbie here.

Hence, I'm seeking advise about choosing a retail broker that provides/allows:

- trading services for Options, Futures and Forex.
- API interfaces for automated trading.
- paper-trading accounts.

After some reading I focused on Genesis Securities but I see their charge $200 per month for their SW platform.
That's a stop sign for me.

Perhaps, Genesis have lower cost packages for individuals. Does someone know?

Anyhow, what alternatives would you guys suggest?

Thank You!
