A customer expects that there will be a depreciation on GBD and an appreciation in JPY. With a margin deposit of HKD80,000 and a leverage ratio of 5x, the customer creates a deal of selling GBD against JPY at an exchange rate of 155.57
Suppose the customer squares the deal after 10 days at an exchange rate of 155.00
Since the exchange rate fluctuates, based on the example above, if GBP appreciates against JPY and the customer squares the deal at an exchange rate of 156, it will result in a total net loss of HKD1,209.61.
The illustrative example above is hypothetical and provided for illustration purpose only. It does not represent any guaranteed future returns. |
A client expects a plunge in GBP and a rise in JPY some day, so he sells a GBP contract and buys in a JPY contract instead at 155.57 with margin deposit of HKD80,000 at 5X leverage:
Suppose the client will close the position 7 days later with FX rate at 155.00
As the exchange rate may go up and down, if GBP to JPY goes up in the example above, the client would lose HKD1,209.61 in total when the position is closed at FX rate 156.00.
