Can scalping be done in options?

Yes, scalping is popular in weekly options (like Bank Nifty/Nifty 50). Traders buy and sell ATM/ITM options quickly for 1–2 point moves. But it requires:

  • Extremely low latency
  • High liquidity
  • Strict risk control, as options are sensitive to time decay and volatility
