My favorite book for day trading is a bit dated, as you can tell in the section about trading platforms, but it is chocked full of great teaching. It's "A Beginners Guide to Day Trading Online" by Toni Turner: http://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guid.../dp/1593376863

As far as options trading goes, I sometimes day trade those based on momentum, just like I would a stock, but they can be very complex trading tools if you're into that. Not sure if this one is best or not, but I learned from the book "Options for the Beginner and Beyond" by W. Edward Olmstead : http://www.amazon.com/Options-Beginn.../dp/0132655683
