If you want to trade long term you will have to have very wide stop losses. With $5000 you should open up a "Micro" and make sure you don't over leverage yourself. I know FxSol offers micro accounts, but I'm not sure if Oanda does. I know FXCM only offers mini accounts. A micro account will allow you to take huge swings so I think it will suit your long term trading style.
Hope that helps.
