if you are a beginner, then you can start a demo account first
the goal is to
-you get used to the trading platform
-you can apply techniques/algorithms that you trust
-you can apply money monegement
during the demo, you can have a profit & consistency target, for example 15% only in 6 months, or 2% every month, if the target is achieved then you can start trying a real account with a small capital first until it starts to be consistent then you can add according to what you are comfortable with
