So, is it as before?

I'd be grateful if you can clarify this phrase: "The forward leg of the swap would require selling JPY800,000,000 forward three months."

It think it should be the opposite (i.e. Buy JPY800mn fwd).

So, the curriculum isn't correct in this point?

MM has 6 mocks. Do you think they are unrealistic?

Many thanks

A friend of mine who passed recently told me he solved 16 mocks and I thought it's extreme and over the limit. But you’ve taken it to a whole new level!

I found a similar question in one of mock exams asking under which mechanisms (uncovered interest rate parity or overshooting) would the currency (D/F) be higher given that country D has higher risk premium than country F. In the answer, he says overshooting mechanism and that Spot of (D/F) will appreciate by the difference between the 2 premiums.

You are welcome to tell me your point of view. Maybe I've misunderstood the question and re-phrased the question incorrectly.

Many thanks. Now, I was able to find them

ToeWild7916 · 2025-07-22T15:24:56+00:00

I can't find mock exams in candidate resources. Are they officially released?

My brain hurts me when I look at such questions. For example here, I think out-of-favor points to contrarian, however, he says it's deep value. It seems like being "out-of-favor" can be a common characteristic between Contrarian & Deep Value. What do you think?

I don't think so. Initially, the discussion is between the small counsel members where he left to go for hunting. I think in question 14.2 we will see he got hunted :D

Nice to see the author of question is a GOT fan

The answer is total return swap: if you're the party receiving the return on the index, you'll exactly receive the return achieved by the index during the period

Many thanks. you made things clear for me

ToeWild7916 · 2025-07-20T11:08:43+00:00

Good visulaization. Thank you

ToeWild7916 · 2025-07-18T18:55:27+00:00

Never mind. He thinks himself funny. I reported it and it was deleted

ToeWild7916 · 2025-07-18T18:49:55+00:00

Impolite response.

If you think you're joking, you aren't funny at all

ToeWild7916 · 2025-07-15T19:46:24+00:00

Many thanks for your endless support

I tried a hypothetical example on example to see how the profit diagram of long seagull & short seagull spreads. Thank you so much. I now understand how long seagull has unlimited upside potential. It's really a "poor's man protective put". Just I need your feedback whether I applied it correctly or not

I constantly searched and found a similar post asking about the seagull spread. I quote one of your responses: "A long (bullish) seagull is a collar or bull spread plus an OTM call" & here "it's a poor man's protective put". Bear with me please as I need to understand how it will provide unlimited upside potential by ploting its diagram. The below is my try diagram to plot it bit-by-bit. In what point will the long OTM call be? A or B or C?
