Locked in rate

HHaru1311y ago
Hi sir, When calculating the locked in rate for futures, when do we need need to plus the basis and when do we need to minus? Getting quite confuse when we have to plus or minus. Can you explain please? Thanks so much!

The lock-in rate will always be between the current spot rate and the current futures price, so that lets you decide whether you need to add or subtract :-)
