This is the goal of institutional algorithms - to essentially profit many times from small movements. In practice you need to watch the algo closely for this sort of work it is easy for it to go wrong as you're working on the margins, and that makes it expensive, hence the reason its currently the domain of the big boys, although I do concede retail investors can to HFT its much harder and more time intensive than it might first seem. An algo manager I know tells me his firm is constantly updating their code to not only keep up with the market diversity but also to keep fighting the other algo's as these things are learning and trying to exploit their competing algo's in the market (hence the now wide use of spoofing out there).
