35 | | /*! This class represents a foreign exchange forward contract, |
36 | | which is an agreement to exchange a specified amount of one |
37 | | currency for another currency at a future date at a |
38 | | predetermined exchange rate. |
39 | | |
40 | | The instrument supports various settlement conventions: |
41 | | - Overnight (O/N): settlementDays = 0 |
42 | | - TomNext (T/N): settlementDays = 1 |
43 | | - SpotNext (S/N): settlementDays = 2 (standard spot) |
44 | | |
45 | | The payment date is computed as the evaluation date plus |
46 | | settlementDays business days according to the specified calendar. |
47 | | |
48 | | The instrument can be valued using DiscountingFxForwardEngine, |
49 | | which computes the NPV by discounting the source and target |
50 | | legs using their respective yield curves. |
