    In this question I have tried to calculate the daily losses using the method in your lectures rather than using ticks as below:

    1 March:
    81 x 200,000 x (1.1410 – 1.1422)/400 = -48.6

    2 March:
    81 x 200,000 x (1.1418 – 1.1410)/400 = 32.4

    And so on…

    However these are not the figures calculated in the solution. Please could you explain where I am going wrong with this method.

    Thanks

    Why have you divided by 400? We only divide by 400 when they are interest rate futures. These are currency futures.

    so on 1 March:

    81 x 200,000 x (1.1410 – 1.1422) = 19,440 loss

    and so on 🙂
