    The lock in rate is the net result of converting at spot and dealing with the profit and loss.

    My free lecture on lock-in rates will help you with this.

    Lock-in rates are not relevant with options – they only apply when you are dealing in futures.

    oh right , so if we did an exact spot rate at the exercise date as we cannot use lock-ins for options , we could have seen what would have been the result at the open market,

    thanks alot
