Forward cover is a currency trading strategy that allows you to lock in a fixed exchange rate for a future transaction. It can be used as a way to mitigate risk or to speculate on future changes in the exchange rate. The forward cover is an agreement between two parties where one party agrees to buy or sell a currency at a certain rate, which is called the forward rate, and then deliver it at another specified date and price.

Forward contracts allow investors to hedge against adverse movements in exchange rates by locking in today's rate for delivery at some time in the future. For example, if you believe that the dollar will strengthen against the euro, you can enter into a forward contract with someone who believes that the euro will strengthen against the dollar. You will agree on an exchange rate now and agree to deliver your currency at some point in the future according to those terms (known as "exchanging spot"). If your prediction is correct, when you deliver your currency it will be worth more than it was when you agreed on its value with your counterparty, and vice versa if your prediction was incorrect.

However, there are some risks involved with forward cover: The interest rate differential between two currencies may change over time; there may be political instability affecting either country's economy.

You should be careful and vigilant about leverage using. When the market moves slow, you can use high leverage for a very short time to earn profit but not always. Traders should use a minimum leverage to earn moderately. Eurotrader allows traders with moderate amount of leverage facility. Use of leverage depends on a trader’s willingness and ability.

There is a confusion among traders about mt4 and mt5 trading platform. When your platform is infected with several technical errors, it will turn your trading into hell. For forex trading, mt4 trading platform is good. Eurotrader provides both mt4 and mt5 trading platforms. The broker uses smart bridge technology.

Majority of the traders gain outside knowledge but the knowledge of candlesticks is absent in traders. Judging candlesticks pattern is a part of technical analysis. Proper candlestick knowledge is needed for technical analysis and indicators are of high assistance. Technical analysis is essential for catching the market trend. Eurotrader allows traders with a smooth trading platform, all trading pairs availability and narrow trading spread.

A regulated and reliable trading broker provides traders with all necessary facilities like high security of funding, good amount of leverage, narrow spread in most of the pairs, flexible margin level, and other facilities moderately. I know Eurotrader, an ECN-type broker, as such a broker. Besides that, the broker allows traders with a 111% deposit bonus.

Forward cover is a method used by traders to protect themselves against loss. It's like insurance for your money, and it's one of the most important tools in your arsenal.

If you're using a forward cover, then you are essentially locking in the price at which you want to sell the currency before it reaches your limit. So if your limit is $100 and the price of that currency rises to $101, then when it finally hits $101, you can sell it immediately and make a profit.

But what if the price of that currency doesn't reach $100? Then all those profits are gone forever! That's where forward cover comes in. It locks in the price at which you want to sell so that even if something unexpected happens—like an economic crisis—you don't lose everything. It's an interesting idea, but it's also not a totally new concept. It's been used for years as a way to hedge against risk and protect your portfolio from market volatility.
