FX Strategy Simulation - Option Contracts FX Strategy Simulation - Option Contracts: To illustrate the concept of option contracts, this FX strategy simulation uses the Foreign Exchange Derivative Speculator to model the economic and accounting aspects of a put and a call option. These examples demonstrate the economics and accounting of option contracts, and show how variables such as the option strike rate and implied volatility impact the premium or cost of the option at inception. Additionally, the asymmetrical payoff profile of an option is highlighted using the economic chart, and the accounting is clarified using journal entries and t-accounts. From a cash flow perspective, emphasis is placed on the fact that options can finish "in the money" where a cash payment is received at maturity, or "out of the money" with a zero fair value where no further payment is required to settle the contract. Overall, the three key distinguishing characteristics of vanilla option contracts, compared to forwards and option combinations, are (1) that a premium is paid upfront, (2) there is an asymmetrical payoff profile relative to the spot foreign exchange rate, and (3) there is no obligation to make a payment at maturity.

FX Strategy Simulation: Forward Contract FX Strategy Simulation - Forward Contract: To put the concept of a forward contract into practice, this foreign exchange (FX) strategy simulation uses the FX Derivative Speculator to demonstrate the economics and accounting of a foreign currency forward contract using the default accounting treatment to help reinforce the following two points: The functional currency value of the forward at any point in time is equivalent to the difference between the forward rate on the contract and the then prevailing forward rate in the market. The interest rate differential between the two currencies in the pair determines the forward point premium or discount applied to the spot rate to compute the "all in" forward rate.
