# Extendible Forward

{% hint style="info" %}
An Extendible Forward is a forward contract with the potential to be renewed for one or more expiries if the final spot rate ends above (or below) a pre-specified barrier.\
\
Variations of the extension test condition may position the extension test date at an earlier point in time. This would enable the hedging counterparty to know on that date whether or not the forward will extend into the second period.
{% endhint %}

### **Payoff at Expiry:**

At expiry if EURUSD fixes:

* Above the Strike, the client is fully protected at the Strike on 100% of the Notional.&#x20;
* Below the Strike, the client will find itself obligated to trade at the Strike level on 100% of the Notional.

On the Extension Test Date, if EURUSD is below the Extension Test Rate, the strategy will continue for a second period (the "Extension Period"); otherwise, it will not and the client will be unhedged for that second period.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://eako-capital.gitbook.io/eako-user-guide/extendible-forward.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
