What are Forward Contracts?
A forward contract is often used when two parties wish to buy or sell a currency pair at an agreed price in the future — you can think of it as a ‘buy now, pay later’ product.
In the contract, the buyer and seller agree on the price, quantity and delivery. The buyer is known to be taking a long position, whilst the seller is known to take a short position.
If you’re looking to hedge and manage your risk against future exchange rate movements, then forward contracts are an ideal option.

How To Trade Forward Contracts
Once you’ve decided on what you want to trade, two parties will enter into a contract where they will agree on the date, quantity and amount. Once the contract reaches its expiration date, the buyer will pay the seller the currency price they agreed upon in the formation of the contract.
Forward contracts are the go-to option for those that want to lock in a price at a future date and hedge against market uncertainty.
