Average rate forwards

start by projecting your forward rates, compute each "fixing", and calculate the average per the contract. keep in mind, that depending upon how the contract is written, there may be a volatility component which contributes to the price, related to :1/avg(p1, p2,......pn) <> avg(1/p1, 1/p2,......1/pn)
