In currency trading, Forward Points are the number of basis points added to or subtracted from the current spot rate of a currency pair to determine the forward rate for delivery on a specific value date. Forward points can be positive or negative, and they represent how much interest rates have changed since the spot rate was locked in.Forward contracts allow traders to lock in exchange rates for future delivery dates, which can provide protection against adverse movements in exchange rates. The amount of forward points that are added or subtracted from the spot rate depends on a variety of factors, including interest rates, inflation levels and geopolitical events.Most traders use computer algorithms to calculate current market conditions and determine appropriate forward point spreads. By taking into account all these variables, traders can ensure they are getting the best possible deal when locking in future exchange rates.
