If you dont have enough experience in trading, it is better to start with smallest amount possible. Check with regulated brokers what is minimum amount to deposit. If you see that you can earn money with $100 than you can easy increase your investment
You can even go one step further and just trade on platforms that have a live demo feature, there's plenty of them available—even for spot exchanges, derivatives and margin trading platforms.
Alternatively, you can just plot your entry and exit points using a technical analysis and charting tool like Teamviewer, most of the exchanges have integrated this anyway.
Just google "cryptocurrency exchange demo trading" and you'll find a bunch of platforms.
Be careful though, most platforms only give you a fixed amount of testnet funds to play with. After that you'll need to either recharge it move to the main trading platform.
