1. Introduction
The attached matlab code simulates future coupled spot and forward curves based on the Carlos Blanco and Michael Pierce model published in Energy Risk, May 2012; the forward curve simulator is based on the Clewlow and Strickland model detailed in [2] and the submission in June 2013. The aim of the code is to simulate several commodity markets of spot and forward simulations.
2. Running the code
The script:
SpotModelExample.m

can be run to show how to the model is initialised that will output several figures highlighting simulations and validation.

The main engine determining the simulated spot and forward curves:

SpotandMultiFactorForwardCurveSimulator.m
