My commissions and margin interest are running about 8% of profits. With a $1 minimum commission, there's definitely a minimum account size that makes sense for RTM strategies but I haven't investigated what that is. When I started, I wanted an account size that would enable the average trade to be above 200 shares to minimize the impact of the minimum commission. $50K gave me an average trade size of 250 shares given my strategies and account settings.
