This is so good, no one explains the basics so thank you very much for your video

[@mukeshkapse1670]

It is interesting to know that one has a right to understand it so slowly.. equally great to explain something so patiently..!

Can anyone help? 1. A UK based exporter is due to receive US$5 million in 3 months time. Write a report for the exporter covering the following: I need to calculate the sterling received if you used forwards, futures and options to convert it from dollars.

If you sell your future contract, will you lose your initial deposit? Still confused with that

[@kevinbracker]

Not necessarily. The futures price goes up/down as markets are open. At the end of each trading day, the contract is "marked to market". So, for example, if I put up an initial margin of $2000 and the contract increased in value by $300 before I sold it, I would make a $300 profit. If it decreased in value by $500, I would have a loss of $500. In the second example, I would have fallen below the maintenance margin, so would need to add back $500 or the position would be closed.
