Forward premium or discount = [(Forward rate Spot rate) (Spot rate)] x [360(# of days)] x 100.
Example If the 3-month / $ forward exchange rate is 109.50 and the spot rate is / $ = 109.38, then the dollar is considered to be "strong" relative to the yen, as the dollar's forward value exceeds the spot value. The dollar has a premium of 0.12 yen per dollar. Find forward premium. Answer: Annualized forward premium= ((109.50 109.38) 109.38)
(12 3) 100% = 0.329%
51
Forward premium or discount = [(Forward rate Spot rate) (Spot rate)] x [360 (# of days)] x 100.
Example But the yen would trade at a discount because its forward value in terms of dollars is less than its spot rate. Find the discount for the Japanese yen. Answer: First, calculate the forward and spot rates for the Japanese yen in terms of dollars per yen: (1/109.50 = 0.0091324) and (1/109.38 = 0.0091424) respectively. The annualized forward discount for the Japanese yen, in terms of U.S. dollars, would be: ((0.0091324 0.0091424) 0.0091424) (12 4) 100% = -0.328%

Advance Block
Three white soldiers occur in downtrends, while the advance block occurs in uptrends. The first candlestick in the advance block formation is a long green candlestick with very little upper shadow and closes near its high. The next two candlesticks in the formation will close higher, but they both have lengthy upper shadows. These upper shadows are an early indication that the uptrend is at risk. The second and third candlestick open within the body of the preceding candle. A bearish reversal signal. This chart pattern materializes after a clear uptrend is in place.
