Overview - Forward Studio is a web-delivered application for visualization and analysis of energy commodity forward curves. A simple and intuitive interface provides easy navigation of forward price history, and a calculated volatility term structure is presented alongside prices. Covered commodities include crude oil and derivatives, natural gas and several basis points, and power (peak and off-peak) for several locations.
Consider the benefits:
Visualization - Forward Studio allows for easy visualization and navigation of the multi-dimensional nature of forward prices. Plot the forward curve and drag a slider to navigate through trade date history. Double click a data point to change to price history for a single contract.
Analytics - Volatility term structure from historical forwards (options implied calculation pending) is presented alongside prices.
Automation - Data download and analytic calculations are scripted in a daily process. Precious time of trade support and/or risk analysis staff is saved and can be reallocated to other initiatives.
