it is possible....but not prudent. anything is possible.....but if one has done it before is where the conviction comes in....hope you understand that.
if one has not done it before....chances r slim they maybe good at growing a small account. also trades have to be selective i think.
all the best on the health front & yr trades..... if u have not traded real $s before....perhaps a SIM maybe good.
Save your money. Trading futures successfully is not a 2K business. There may be some outlier stories in the past but realistically it is not plausible.
Sim trade first. If you can't make money in simulation, you won't be able to make money live.
Sim will teach you what you don't know.
Success is probably going to be years away. You will need your $2000 for software, data fees, and instructional aid.
If you want to start trading live with no trading background, I recommend Vegas, Macau or Saipan. You will have a lot more fun with $2000 in those places than sitting in front of your computer.
Practical? No. Prudent? No. NQ can rip your face off. CL is a choir boy compared to NQ. Build up a larger trading bankroll first and educate yourself in what you're getting into. No one should be trading futures contracts with 2k. Probably not what you want to hear but I promise you it's the truth.
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.
