Where can you buy one-time forex futures contract?
December 27th, 2009
wise man of babylon asked:
I am planning to attend university in Britain next year, but I currently get paid in USD. I want to take advantage of the low USD-GBP exchange rate to buy a one-time futures contract so that when I actually have my money in USD in 9 months, I can buy GBP at a guaranteed rate. I am planning to convert about $20k. Where would be the best place to buy this contract, any idea about how much it can cost (hundreds? thousands)? thanks.
