Scalping NSE F&O difficult ?

#1
Can NSE Nifty or Banknifty options be scalp-traded ? I would like to try scalping in option trades but unsure of whether it can work say over 200 or more trades a day.

Kindly guide me.

We have an FnO market live for 375 minutes : From 9:15 to 3:30 i.e for trading 200+ trades in a day one must trade ONE trade every "less than 2 minutes" or around one trade every 112 seconds approximately. Its humanly possible to enter the trades but to get the Levels for these trades for a human like me are impossible.
Maybe you have to use Automated trading !
Please keep in mind : "Nifty options are multiple times more Liquid than BNF options."

You can certainly scalp any scrip. Theoratical max # of trades in India would be approx 7500. (one pair of trade every 3 seconds) but this cannot be done manually, Exchange currently restricts trades to not be executed in frequencies of less than 1 sec, so 1st second is for entry, Second is a gap. 3rd is for exit.

Point obviously unanswered is what kind of money you'd make .... One thing is certain. If I was a broker, you'd be one of my best clients.

What is your goal? earning points or making so many trades? If we cannot make money by taking 20 trades in a day... most likely we won't make money with 200 trades also. Infact one may lose more money also ;) Check pratap's vwap thread, you may get 10+ trades a day based on vwap.. you will make money... :thumb:

scalpers do hundreds of trades per day for small gains in equity segment, IMO scalping is not possible in options but may be possible in nifty futures.

Why do you say "Nifty options are multiple times more Liquid than BNF options" ? I actually thought it was the other way round. Kindly clarify

My goal is to make small amounts in multiple trades and not be exposed to any market risk. I did not find anyone scalping in options so I asked if its possible
