Foreign exchange

Llesley8y ago
This is probably the most stupid question, however, I cannot get me head around how to convert currency. Why do sometimes you divide it, and at other times you multiply. Every time I think I have it right I don't. I spend so much time overthinking it, and wasting time. Please help

If you watch my first free lecture on foreign exchange risk management, then I do explain which rates to use and how to use them (with examples). The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

Please start a new thread when asking about a new topic - this has nothing to do with foreign exchange rates. A cap is fixing a maximum interest rate, a floor is fixing a minimum interest rate, and a collar is fixing a minimum and a maximum - infall case by using interest rate options. These are not really examinable until Paper P4 - everything needed for F9 is explained in my free lectures on interest rate risk management.
