Help on Live Trading and opening an Interactive Brokers account?

Hi Guys,

I am an Indian citizen very excited about the Quantopian platform and I wanted to trade using the platform when it becomes available to everyone.I have a few queries?

1.What type of Interactive Brokers account should I use?-Margin Trading or Cash Account
2.What is the transaction cost for a trade?
3.I wanted to know about leverage support?

I would be really thankful if someone could give me a good explanation because I am exposed to finance but completely new to trading?

Thanks,
