How To Calculate Swap And Forward Points - Newbie Here

Hi guys!

I'm training to be an FX dealer in the bank I'm working in, hoping to replace the trader that we have who'll be retiring soon.

Since he's so good, he's sometimes too busy to teach me.

Anyway, I just want to know how to calculate swap and forward points. Basically, these are related to FX forwards and swaps, right? The thing is, I can't find anything useful on the Net about these forwards and swaps.

Does anyone have something useful to read about FX forwards and swaps, and about calculating those forward and swap points? If you do, please e-mail me the info at [email protected]. I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

I recommend you to check about this book: Options, futures, and other derivatives by John Hull.
It's a really good book and covers forwards and swaps as well as a lot more you should know about.

Does anyone know true Interbank Spreads for FX Forwards ?
I mean there is so much volume here, on EURUSD 1Y or 1 month, 1 week, there are up to more than 40 pips spread between bid and ask price at Saxo.
I do not know how much they markup, I would like to know. Anyone can post a screenshot with market depth on EURUSDM1 or EURUSDY1, would be best.
Thank you.
