Thanks for the information David.  My main interest is just to keep track of the money.  It appears I can do that.

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.

    Hi All:

    I can't seem to find any instructions on how to handle options. If
    anyone is using options how are you using GC for tracking?

    I am using Linux Mint 19.0 and GC 2.6.19.

    Thanks,

    Les
