Recording realized gains for (currency) trading accounts

[Ian K]

The Trading Accounts that GnuCash creates are really internal GnuCash
accounts that enable proper multi-currency functionality. You should not
enter transactions manually in them or alter any existing transactions.
You should have your own currency accounts that you have created for your
transactions, and as you enter trannsactions in them, GnuCash will populate
the Trading Account transactions. The overall balance in the Trading
Accounts reflects the gain/loss from the currency transactions, but that
will be reflected in the realiased gain/loss section of the Balance Sheet.

Thinking about it I wonder if Trading Accounts should be hidden by default?
