Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) provides the backdrop for this intensive market-replay session. Set against the geopolitical turbulence of the early 1990s, the scenario spans from late May to late August 1990, inviting participants to navigate an uncharted downtrend as it unfolds bar by bar. With 62 daily trading sessions compressed into an interactive decision-training environment, the stakes are clear: how would you manage capital and risk when the market offers no safe harbor?
Across the 62 daily bars, the ADX index retreated from 1.29 to 1.08, translating into a cumulative decline of 16.3%. The journey was anything but smooth—the maximum drawdown reached 31.0%, while the largest single-bar move hit 8.0%, moments that would have tested the resolve of any market participant. Participants face 11 decision points throughout the replay, 4 of which are designated as critical, demanding decisive action or restraint in equal measure.
This replay is engineered to sharpen three core competencies: disciplined process under uncertainty, proactive risk management in the face of extended drawdowns, and psychological resilience when volatility strikes without warning. Navigating the ADX crash requires participants to balance conviction with flexibility, making it a rigorous test of historical market decision-making skills.
