money management
you can open an account with oanda and trade in miniscule/fractional lots.
also 2% per trade should be calculated from the potential pip loss not the other way around.
that is if your capital is 10,000 and 2% is $200 and based on this you go with 1 lot for 20 pips sl - that's wrong
you should look at the chart and decide where you want your stop first. the say you decide that you want your stop at 57 pips. than you go and calculate your lot size - 1*20/57 = .35 lots or 3.5 mini lots (.1 lots)
