What happened — and what it teaches
In early 2008, Turkey's BIST 100 entered a sustained correction phase. The replay covers 30 trading days from late February to early April, as the market navigated one of its most volatile stretches of the year. Participants face the challenge of managing positions through a prolonged downtrend where each session brings new information and new choices.
The index fell from 458.23 to 429.01, a decline of -6.4%. Along the way, the maximum drawdown reached 14.9% from peak to trough, and the largest single trading day saw a move of 7.5%. Seven decision points punctuated this period, with three deemed critical moments where positioning and risk management decisions carried heightened consequences.
This scenario trains participants to handle several core disciplines simultaneously. The extended drawdown period tests conviction and process discipline when positions are under pressure. The volatility spikes demand clear risk frameworks before entries are made, not after. Perhaps most importantly, the psychology of loss aversion comes into sharp focus during corrections, where the temptation to exit prematurely must be weighed against the discipline of following a predetermined plan. Success here is measured not by predicting the bottom, but by maintaining sound decision-making throughout the storm.
