I have over 150 unique option trades from a dozen companies using vertical spreads. Whats the best way to record my gains. T5008 or the capital gains section. Explain.

I trade derivatives (stock options) like vertical spreads and iron condors.  Over the year I have over 150 unique entries covering a dozen or so companies.  It's 6 pages of T5008.  

How can I easily report my capital gains without having to manually enter each unique trade.  Use the T5008 and add up the box 20's and 21's or can I use the capital gains section?
