Yes. You said that you have set your day trading up as a sole proprietorship. If that has ordinary losses (and we'll go with your numbers although you didn't include any business expenses there) of $20,000 and then the only other income on your return was $50,000 in ordinary income from short term gains then yes, the net is $30,000 in taxable income.
