Long Position: | ||
---|---|---|
Buy USD | = US$900,000 | |
Balance after 14 days | = US$900,000 + (US$ 900,000 x 4.62% x 14/360) = US$901,617 |
|
Short Position: | ||
Sell JPY | = (US$900,000 x 120) = JPY108,000,000 |
|
Balance after 14 days | = JPY108,000,000 + (JPY108,000,000 x 1.24% x 14/360) = JPY108,052,080 |
|
Square Position: | Scenario 1 (Profit): The exchange rate of USD/ JPY rises to 125 |
Scenario 2 (Loss): The exchange rate of USD/ JPY falls to 115 |
Sell USD vs. JPY | JPY(US$901,617 x 125) = JPY112,702,125 |
JPY(US$901,617 x 115) = JPY103,685,955 |
Total Gain/ Loss | JPY112,702,125 - JPY108,052,080 = JPY4,650,045 |
JPY103,685,955 - JPY108,052,080 = - JPY4,366,125 |
Gain/ Loss in USD | US$(4,650,045/125) = US$37,200 |

The risk of loss in foreign exchange margin trading can be substantial. Investors may sustain losses in excess of their original margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop loss" or "stop limit" orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Investors may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, their position will be liquidated. Investors will remain liable for any resulting deficit in their account.
Investors may therefore wish to seek independent advice before making a commitment to enter into foreign exchange margin trading . In the event that investors choose not to seek independent advice, they should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in the light of their own investment objectives, financial position and risk profile.
