Forex Futures Trading

Forex futures trading is the buying and selling of exchange-traded futures contracts for currency pairs . A forex futures contract gives the holder the right and the obligation to buy or sell a pair of currencies at a predetermined price and date. The important components of forex futures trading include:

  • Forex pair: the currency you will buy in exchange of the other at the end of the futures contract
  • Lot size: the value of the currency included in the contract
  • Contract price: the price at which the futures contract is trading
  • Spot price: the latest forex rate for the currency pair, different from the contract price
  • Margin: the amount of money you’re required to deposit with your currency trading platform
  • Tick size: the minimum amount by which a forex futures contract can move, which is Rs. 0.0025 in India
  • Expiration date: the preagreed day on which the contract must be excercised or squared off

Forex futures trading in India is possible through three exchanges: NSE, BSE, and MSE. The forex futures contracts are standardized derivatives that can be traded between 9.00 AM to 7.30 PM. Forex futures in India are cash settled, meaning profits or losses are settled in INR while the base currency is not delivered.

Cash Market

A cash market is a place where assets, goods, and services are bought and sold on the spot. That’s why it is also known as the “spot market”.

A stock market exchange like NSE or BSE is an example of a cash market as trades are settled on the spot at the spot price. Derivatives like futures are not a part of the cash market are trades are settled in the future.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term assets or holdings which fall under the current assets of a business. Cash and cash equivalents have very high liquidity. When you take the term literally, you have two components:

  • Cash: money like cash holdings in a bank account, petty cash, and others
  • Cash equivalents: assets or investments like T-bills, commercial paper, and others that have a short maturity which can easily be converted into cash

Box Spread

A box spread is a trading strategy that involves buying a bull call spread and a matching bear put spread. The components of a box spread are designed as so:

  • Bull call spread : two call options with a lower and upper strike price
  • Bear put spread : buying and selling puts at different strike prices of the same underlying asset with the same expiration

Consolidated Financial Statements

A consolidated financial statement is a record of all the assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and other financial data of a company and its subsidiaries.

Convertible Bonds

A convertible bond is a hybrid security that’s initially designed to be a debt instrument that pays a fixed interest rate in exchange for a loan. Once the loan’s tenure ends, the holder can decide to take one of either action:

  • Don’t convert bond: face value of the bond is transferred to the holder on maturity
