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: http://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/omnivestforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=4437&posts=91 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 |
