We can test our trading skills by investing with a small amount of money on our real account but other says that we should never practice using our demo account. But for me, it's okay as long as you know how to manage your trades.

Try to open a demo account to attest your skills wether you are capable enough to handle an account or open a real account with a small amount of sum and starts trading but never use big lots and leverage.

Open a real account and put a small amount of your money to test if you improve a lot. You are the only one who can help to determine your capabillities.
