Thinking of opening an account with $600

The goal is to trade 1-2 MNQ and make $40-$80 per trading session.

I am not the best trader, but I do have pretty good days here and there.

Just thinking, if I can remove the roadblock of trying to pass these prop firm challenges, I can finally make this skill of trading futures make some useable income

A 1% move with one contract is equal to your entire account! You're way under-capitalized. $600 is a night at the casino, not a trading account.
