i am a very winning poker player, and under that assumption alone i feel that i could be a +EV day trader. maybe thats a niave statement and if it is id really apprecate the harsh reality before i waste my time. i know nothing about day trading and this contract thing you speak of his out of my understanding. how successful could a successful day trader be? im currently beating 20/40 for over a BB/hr. would day trading surpass that? i assume it depends entirely upon bankroll size. what size bankroll should i have before bothering to learn the ins and outs of day trading in order to make more money than i am at poker? my learning methods would be these forums and reading dozens of books.

could you recommend any books that would be good for someone interested in learning how to day trade, that doesnt understand anything about it, but is able to comprehend sophisticated financial and numerical analysis?

thanks alot
