 klyn55,
 
 Didn't ignore you. Just spotted your question now.
 
 1. Honest answer is I don't day trade unless the profit offers itself. Then I scalp a profit.
 2. I don't use any charts that are below daily. With options I look more toward volatility, probability, standard deviation and over $1 premium to sell.
 3. I did find this and it looks like it may talk to your 5 minute chart idea.

 5 Minute Chart
 The 5 min chart is a great way to find highs and lows and time your entries. Even though I am in trades for a few days to a few weeks, I like to use the 5 min chart to find good zones to enter and exit my trades. By using a short term chart for entries I am able to fine tune my trades and get better fills for my trades.
 
 For example with trade entries, I like to see if we are at a high or low for the day and what the trend is. If I want to buy a call and we are at the high of the day, then I will use the 5 min chart to look for a pull back to support before I will buy the call. If the market is selling off then I will look for a bottom to be formed on the 5 min chart before I will buy the call. If the market is making big moves or stuck in consolidation, then the 5 min chart if also a great way to visualize when the trend stops or the consolidation breaks. Don’t neglect entries and exits as a trader, pick an entry then try our a short term chart to fine tune your options trade.
