Hey Mitch,
I am looking at the same week for scalps.
Yeah the spreads can be a killer. I try to trade the options with the highest volume or open interest to negate the spread as much as possible. That's the tough thing about scalping options, a trade that would be breakeven if trading the stock will most of the time be a loss on the options trade. Some stocks i dont think are really tradeable as scalps as much as i would like to trade them at times because of their spreads (e.g SPOT, SHOP).
Let me know how you go, i'm keen to connect with more options scalpers and learn of each other!
