I think you can scale it a bit more than you think. I use a liquidity filter and it is hard to trade really thin stocks. But, I know from testing that the average price the week following the signal is not a lot different than monday's open. So what you can do is trade a few times in the week without moving the market too much. I suggest say placing orders at the same time & day each week. So if you want a 100k position, you might trade Monday to Thursday @ 25k each trade. at say 3.30pm for example. This is actually how the micro cap managers trade -have someone continually placing smaller trades over time. Getting out is the same but can be harder. But some big drops happen on these stocks so you just have to be prepared to accept that.
