Is 2k enough cap to start trading with warrants?

Quote from cvds16:

the only way to trade intraday options is sitting on bids and asks and picking out options while getting your right delta using another instrument. In this way your getting your edge. It's basically market making. If you do a decent volume you can make a nice living. I did this for some time on DIA, but then cancellation costs wrecked this.

Sitting on bids and asks in the same series is a privilege reserved for market makers. Spoofing is also against the rules. So, presumably you were doing so on different series?

I did it in different series, but sitting on bids and asks is not prohibited in europe. This guy wants to trade in Europe from what I understand.

Getting my delta right: I think the market is going up, the public is buying 11 at the money calls with delta 0.5, I sell them calls too expensive thus getting my edge, but problem: I think market is going up, but I'm short 550 delta's. Solution: I buy 1 future (less margin) and 100 stock. End result: I sold options too expensive, and I'm long 50 delta's which is a small position but nevertheless on the side where I want it.
