Exactly what I have done. 


Over a reasonable period of time, I have closely watched option chains to see how they move through the day to establish if there was any decent opportunity.  However, I found that slippage, IV loss and brokerage usually didn't make them a good risk to reward strategy.


I do buy options for potential directional moves, but not with the intent of day trading.  They usually last a few days to get exposure to overnight moves and the risk to reward is significantly improved than the few cents you are taking out of daytrades.
