Annotate Currency Contract For Free

The USD (United States dollar) is the official currency of the United States of America. The United States dollar, or U.S. dollar, is made up of 100 cents. It is represented by the symbol $ or US$ to differentiate it from other dollar-based currencies.

If you have any kind of price/amount field on a Contract, once the Contract has been saved you cannot edit the currency. On the Contract object there is not separate currency field created, it is tied to the value you enter. So you can edit the amount, but if you make an error choosing the currency you can't amend it.

A currency forward is a binding contract in the foreign exchange market that locks in the exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a currency on a future date.

A forward exchange contract, commonly known as a FEC or forward cover, is a contract between a bank and its customer, whereby a rate of exchange is fixed immediately, for the buying and selling of one currency for another, for delivery at an agreed future date.

Contract Currency means the currency in which the Contract is based as stated in the Contract Certificate.

One party expects the price to rise while the other expects it to fall. So at the time of execution, one party makes a gain while the other suffers a loss. The forward contract can be settled by the actual delivery of the underlying asset or in cash wherein one party pays the differential cash to another.

It is a contract between the bank and its customers in which the exchange/conversion of currencies would take place at future date at a rate of exchange in advance under the contract. The essential idea of entering into a forward contract is to fix the exchange rate in advance and thereby avoid the exchange rate risk.

Disadvantages of forward foreign exchange contracts You have to go ahead with the contract once you have arranged it, regardless of whether your circumstances change. Because the rate is fixed, you can't benefit from any favourable movement in the exchange rate.
