Portfolio question - re Options

[David Ryder]

Hi,

I run a business am looking at the possibility of combining my Portfolio
into my gnucash accounts and using just gnucash for Portfilio
Management. I have some questions and will start with the first - a
trader, yes, but an accountant I certainly am not! 
        
I trade daily in Options. To me this is Income and I would like to
post under Income:Options as Stock entries - can I? They are not assets
in my case but I don't want to confuse gnucash. All the documentation I
have found says they should be "Assets".

They would be posted to Liabilities:account-name2.

Is this a problem, please?

Thanks,

David
