$2000 is absolutely possible. If you have a profitable strategy/system it can be done. If you have never traded NQ live, be ready to keep your emotions under control once you do. If you can't keep them under control, then $2000 isn't enough.

Day Trading from an Ogre's Point of View Good trading day overall even though I was distracted trying to get audio to work I managed to get some decent trades in along with 2 chicken trades. LOL! Today I started a 1,000 dollar challenge as I listed in a previous post. 1 contract per 1,000 …

Actually, it is not a wise decision to start with 2K and expect to get rich.
If the 2K is an investment in your learning process, it is simply a place to start.

I hate to suggest SIM trading because it is difficult to break out of the rut it puts you into and much harder to experience the 'risk' of trading real $.
But starting with 2K is not realistic.

Can it be done?
Not impossible but highly unlikely to be a successful outcome if profits are your objective.

About your comment about 'Starting in 30 days..."
Are you serious? Start trading after a BY-PASS Operation?
Are you aware that trading can be a very stressful process?
I'm not sure your Dr. will approve of your rehabilitation activity choice.
After such a procedure, I think a less stressful option should be your choice.
Perhaps just watching the market rather than experiencing it.

But it sounds like you have made your choice and can see the stars.
Just don't use any more $ than you consider 'recreational funds'.
If you can't afford to throw the $$ out the window on the way back from your by-pass, then I suggest you not put any $ at risk.

FWIW

I started with 2k 21 months ago and have only used 3100 and now 3500 for the last 2 weeks, fixed at 2k. I live on the net profits week by week. In the 3800's for margin tomorrow. I lost 11,700 in 2014 and 15. Won 8 dollars in January 2017. This was my first profit ever. So, I am now 3.75 years from thinking, "Hmm m maybe I could just earn some pocket money" I just stuck to what I know.

Tradovate will take 2k to open. Free platform and 0.79 per side commissions. try the free 2 week demo first.

Godspeed with the surgery. Come back, we'll leave the light on.

I thank my critic for the critique as forgetting what I stated above would lead an ignorant person astray. I simply shared my experience and made no suggestion for you to trade. Just provided you with the information on where to go if you felt ready to start. Since I see things in a "different" way and am an autodidact, when I hear my critics say that you cannot do this is because i cannot. Maybe he'll post where he trades, I'll show you how transfer that war chest, one tic at a time.

P.S. I forgot to tell you, I am a special case. The level of genius that it took for me to extract a paycheck every single month for last 21 months is what I possess. I am a pattern recognition expert (PRE) scoring 99.97%tile (3 of 10,000). Since I do not know you, I did not make the assumption that you were not. Everyday it gets easier and easier. Now that my back load of medicals bills have been paid, I should be able to scale a contract a week.

My algorithm is being coded by MIT and the marketing is aimed at e gamers in Japan; I trade manually. Limiting the sale to 4000 only at $4995.00 USD by Tencent: TCEHY. May be out before XMAS, or may not but will not see the states. I have a thread going in Journals about it. What I am sharing here can also be used at the NQ but somewhat less effective

I started a journal for all to see. Anyone thinking this is not my experience should cruise right by without stopping. I saw a good one on where to get ES support/resistance lines by daily email gratis. The thread is packed.

My critic and I agree on one thing, takes aLOSER to pay a winner. Not much insight needed but accurate.

Amazing that no one offers a pray or "hopes" for your recovery. The saying you can only service one GOD effectively is apparent in these rooms. Again, Godspeed sir.

Just started it. Up $340 on the first day of trading. I will be posting video's daily to YouTube. First one is up but doesn't have sound. Just got all the stuff together and all the video's from now on will have sound.

I would lend lots of credence to your post
and your video;

if you would always include the CHART TRADER,
appearing on the right hand side of
your trading screen;

where it would show what a great call you make
each time....

alright....? Thx much for sharing.

When you have your video posted on yourtube,
remember to post a linkage for us to watch and
learn your trading screens and style, K?

This is what I meant by showing your right hand
screen where CHART TRADER appears, to track
your live trade as it moves along, from initiating
your position to liquidating, K?

Hope you are doing much better.
