Where can I learn more about FX swaps and NDFs?

Hi all,


I am FX trader that trades HKD and CNH spot. Although I am fairly profitable in what I do, I understand that what I trade is very vanilla and my role is very expendable and replaceable. I understand that the industry's demand for talent is shifting towards someone who can trade all G10 and EM (DF, NDF) and I was wondering if anyone can point me to any resources. For context, I occasionally back up the swaps trader in market making when they are on leave and I have a basic understanding of how swaps work but when I do back up, all I do is b2b and I never prop.


I came across a job posting with the following "requirements" - where can I learn to know all these technicals.


  1. Can you explain 3s12s FX swap duration?

  2. Difference between T/N and Tom Fix?

  3. Are you able to construct a spot implied NDF curve from 1w1m, 1m2m, 1m3m etc?

  4. Can you articulate why 1y FWDs moving left in offshore deliverables cause funding pressure in TN?

  5. Describe how bill issuances kink the curve?

  6. Describe how real money hedging flow affects 1s12s TWD?


Thanks in advance
