Forward contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset  at a pre-determined price on a specified future date.

If at the time of delivery, price of an asset is less than the price at which contract is taken up , then there will be a loss and on the other hand if price at the time of delivery is more than the price at which contract is taken up , then there will be a gain.

 

Profit/Loss = Actual Price - Delivery Price
