The copper market of the 2000s boom faced a pivotal stress test during 2006. This replay covers the 60 daily bars from 2006-05-24 to 2006-08-18, a period when copper's trajectory shifted dramatically and tested every trader's conviction. The scenario captures the tension between momentum and reversal, challenging participants to navigate a boom that was beginning to crack.
Over those 60 trading days, copper's close descended from 3.83 to 3.45, a -9.9% net decline. Beneath that aggregate figure lay a max drawdown of 22.7% and a largest single-bar move of 6.9%, exposing traders to violent intrabar swings. Eleven decision points punctuated the period, with four flagged as critical junctures where directional conviction was most severely tried.
This replay teaches that process discipline trumps price prediction in volatile markets.

The educational value lies in confronting greed-driven entry logic against emerging reversal evidence, refining both analytical framework and emotional composure under historically authentic pressure.
