[GNC] Options Trading

[David Carlson]

Les,

GnuCash would work for options just like it does for stocks.  You just need
to know the trading symbols and if you use a sell as an opening
transaction, then a buy would be your closing transaction,  similar to a
short sale.  GnuCash will not track collateral or calls.

Since GnuCash does not handle day trading very well,you may want to rethink
whether you want to track options with GnuCash.
