Keith,

I think the answer depends largely on the liquidity of the stocks you are trading. My account is set to only trade stocks with average daily volume greater than one million shares. Trading with IB, I have slightly positive slippage with no correlation to trade size. I've made trades as large as 3,000 shares. I publish my slippage data monthly. Check out the following thread:

Look for the last spreadsheet posted in this thread. On the summary worksheet you will see slippage tables for various types of orders and trade sizes. So, I believe if you trade liquid stocks (e.g., avg daily volume > 1M shares) then you shouldn't have a problem trading a $250K account.

Steve
