Leverage, in forex futures trading, money paid by customers to brokers or delivered by brokers to clearing houses as security for transactions. Forex futures trading generally does not make actual delivery, but buyers and sellers sell or buy the opposite contract before the expiration date of the futures contract for write-off, and only need to pay the difference.

Because the clearing house provides a guarantee for both parties to the transaction to ensure that the futures contract will be paid off by the clearing house when it expires, if one party to the transaction is unwilling or unable to cancel the original contract with the other party due to adverse price changes, the clearing house will suffer losses caused by price fluctuations.

In foreign exchange transactions, a transaction includes both spot foreign exchange transactions and forward foreign exchange transactions, that is, while buying or selling spot foreign exchange, selling or buying forward foreign exchange. This kind of transaction is usually carried out by banks to offset the possible risks of some foreign exchange purchased or sold from customers. Sometimes the swap business includes two transactions, which is called forward-to-forward swap business.

Foreign currency futures trading is a foreign exchange trading business that buys and sells foreign currency futures contracts in a fixed place. Similar to other general commodity futures trading, foreign currency futures trading is also a trading activity of buying and selling a fixed amount of foreign currency at an agreed price on a certain date in the future.
