Forward transaction: To decrease risk, forward transactions are often sought 
on the Forext trading market. In this type of transaction, money changes hands 
at a predetermined future date. Transactions are set up by the buyer and seller 
in terms of days, months, or even years. Regardless of the circumstances on that 
future date, the transaction closes.
Futures: Similar to forward transactions, foreign currency futures also 
involve standard contract sizes and maturity dates. Standardized and traded on 
an exchange for this purpose, the average contract is roughly three months. 
Interest amounts are usually included in these types of transactions.
Swap: The swap is probably the most common type of forward transaction. Two 
parties exchange currencies for a predetermined length of time. They also reach 
an agreement on when that swap will reverse - at a later date. Swaps are not 
contracts and the transaction does not take place through an exchange.

Spot: As indicated by its name, a spot transaction is for a much shorter 
duration - two days. A "direct exchange" between two currencies, spot 
transactions involve cash rather than contracts. Interest is not included.
