I have an equities strategy that I run on IB. I think it is possible to generate alpha with a small account if you do it right e.g. don't compete with big funds in HFT.
There's a cool article about this by Robert Carver who used to be a portfolio manager at one of the top quant funds.

- arisAlexis 8y agodo you think IB would close an account for algo trading? I have bad experience with sportsbooks
