Order-based hedging 

Order-based hedging (also called orders/invoices hedging) involves hedging each invoice or order after it appears in the accounts. You export the data from your accounting system or from an excel file to Rabo Easy FX, after which Easy FX links the best possible transaction to each invoice or order and presents it to you. This module is interesting if you have many orders or invoices and do not want to cover them manually for each order.

Forecast-based hedging

Forecast-based hedging involves currency transactions based on expected income and/or expenses. You enter your fixed income and expenses per period after which Easy FX automatically calculates your currency risk and suggests one trade per period. This module is interesting if you have easily predictable income and expenses where your internal calculation rate is fixed for the coming period.

Change settlement date

The "Change Settlement Date" functionality allows you to move positions from existing FX trades partially or completely. A position can be moved to an earlier date (Early take-up) or a later date (Extension). The rate applicable to the shifted amount is based on the "Swap" rate for the new date.

You can find the "Change settlement date" functionality under "Hedging" in the blue bar. Click the plus symbol behind the position you want to change. Enter the amount you want to change and select an amended payment date. Confirm the entry by clicking the check mark. After retrieving quotes, you can choose whether or not to execute the transaction by selecting "Cancel quotes" or "I agree, change settlement now!".
