Depends on what Markets you want to trade. Forex and CFDs? Futures? Stocks?

Since Forex is decentralized, there is no real Level 2 data available. There was this guy here named "forexpervert" who created a hype with his ominous "Forex Level 2 data" thread, where he claimed to get realtime Order Book entries from all big Banks because of his good reputation and connections. But as far as I know he never really delivered.

Other than that, if you want to trade Futures or Stocks, any reputable Broker will offer you a Level 1 and / or Level 2 subscription. WH Selfinvest, IG, CQG, ... But not sure if 2000,- is a good basis to trade those Markets.

Is your aim to turn that 2000 into more, because you need money? If yes, I wouldn't. Very risky. Maybe you got a lucky hand, but statistics show otherwise: Most people trying that go away with less or nothing. Only trade with what you can afford to lose.

Try a popular Russian broker/company called UnitedTraders, they have a nice trading platform called "Aurora", minimun deposit is $300, I haven't tried them in terms of live trading, money transfer etc. but they are really solid business as far as I know.

You should back up your words, as I don't understand what you referring to.
