future expected received

Ttay5y ago
Sir, I would like to know how to differentiate future expected receipt/payment ? As sometimes I saw is AMOUNT/FUTURE SPOT RATE ; while sometimes is CONTRACT IN*CONTRACT SIZE. How to differentiate between this two.

It depends whether or not futures are being used to hedge the risk. You need to watch my free lectures on the management of exchange rate risk - they work through everything needed to the exam.

future always need to exercise right?

Yes, it must be exercised. It can be exercised at any time up to the date that the future matures. Have you watched my lectures on this?
