Live Trading with MT

After about 18 months of on and off paper trading, I think now is the time to go live. My account consists of a few thousand and I'm ready to do the actual thing.

There are many brokers that use MT4, but some of them look shady. I am searching for a U.S. based broker that uses MT4 as their platform. Can anybody give me any recommendations about which broker they are employing with an MT4 platform? Currently my clinic account is with IKON GM - Royal Division. HELP !! I dont want to give my money to the people that are wrong.
