Use T5008 or Capital gains (or losses) tab ?

Hi,

Can I  input my capital gain from trading of  shares directly to the "Capital gains (or losses) and ABIL" tab  instead of using hte T5008 tab under "Interest, investment income and carrying charges" ?

the reason is that my  T5008 has combined all of my transactions of different countries (Canada, US) and translated into CAD, while the exchange rate it used doesn't seem to be correct (when I compared with on BOC rate) so I would rather input each of the gain seapartely into the Capital gains tab.

Yes you can. That was the standard way prior to T5008s.
