    The answers to all of your questions are explained in detail in our free lectures on foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

    I am sorry, but I cannot possibly type out all of the lectures here. You really should watch them – they do not cost anything!

    i use lock in rate to calculate closing future but the problem is that i don’t know when to add or subtract the remaining basis to the opening future price.

    The way to decide is this:

    The futures price and the spot price will get closer together during the life of the future.

    So the lock-in rate will always be between the current spot and the current futures price. So add or subtract – whichever makes the lock-in rate between the two.
