Forward Price The forward price for a contract is the delivery price that would be applicable to the contract if were negotiated today (i.e., it is the delivery price that would make the contract worth exactly zero) The forward price may be different for contracts of different maturities

Terminology The party that has agreed to buy has what is termed a long position The party that has agreed to sell has what is termed a short position

Profit from a Long Forward Position Profit Price of Underlying at Maturity, S T K

Profit from a Short Forward Position Profit Price of Underlying at Maturity, S T K

Futures Contracts Agreement to buy or sell an asset for a certain price at a certain time Similar to forward contract Whereas a forward contract is traded OTC, a futures contract is traded on an exchange
