Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The scenario replays copper trading from January 27 to May 31, 2022, spanning 86 daily bars. This was a period when geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine escalated into armed conflict, sending shockwaves through global commodity markets. Copper, a cornerstone industrial metal, faced unprecedented uncertainty as supply chains and demand forecasts shifted rapidly. Participants must navigate this environment with simulated capital across 15 decision points, including 5 critical junctures.
The final outcome shows copper close moving from 4.41 to 4.3, a net change of -2.5%. Yet this modest headline figure masks the violence of the journey: the market endured a maximum drawdown of 16.6% along the way, with a single daily bar delivering a 4.3% move. The 2020s decade saw few periods that so brutally tested risk management assumptions in base metals.
The replay forces participants to confront the gap between headline returns and lived experience. You must decide when geopolitical headlines signal structural shifts versus temporary noise, manage positions through sudden drawdowns without abandoning process, and maintain psychological equilibrium when a -2.5% net outcome conceals a 16.6% trough. This is decision training that transfers beyond copper to any market shaped by geopolitical uncertainty.
