FORWARD BOOKING
A way of trading currency while minimizing the risk of volatile exchange rates. The booking company will write up a contract specifying what the rate of exchange will be, and in doing so will assume the exchange rate risk. The contract will also outline a timeline in which the trade must be made. The fee associated with the forward book is usually based on a percentage of the amount being traded in the contract.
