Extended data:

Forward foreign exchange contracts are usually irrevocable, which is a tool to protect income and cash flow. The key to adopting this hedging tool is the expectation of future exchange rate. If the actual exchange rate changes are inconsistent with expectations, it will lock in the risk, but it will also lose its due income. Therefore, this hedging tool is often used in conservative management strategies.

Forex futures trading's choice also depends on exchange rate expectation and credit risk, but futures has a unique margin system, which is the lever of gains and losses, and neither limits risks nor gains.
