3 minute chart, then on the side I watch an 89 tick, 50 tick, and two minute chart. I've thought of trying out 5 minute time frames.

When I used to watch the 1 minute chart I noticed I was pretty emotional, I would sit on the edge of my seat in every trade. Maybe this is spilling over to the 3 minute chart?
I used to use a 144/89tick chart, a 233t chart, and a 2min chart. Those are scalper time frames, so the points that you're taking are good for those time frames. If you're wanting to take bigger moves, then you want to not play inside the noise and look at 5min at the smallest, and up to a 15min for direction. This is how I play it now, and its sooo much more comfortable than it was before. Using a larger time frame you'll be able to not get shaken out of the market by the noise.
