What happened — and what it teaches
The USD/TRY pair became the epicenter of an emerging-market storm during the summer of 2018. From July 9 to October 4, traders and risk managers faced a currency in freefall as Turkish financial conditions deteriorated sharply. This 64-day replay captures one of the decade's most volatile FX episodes, placing you at the heart of decisions where positions could be wiped out by single-session moves. In this educational replay you will encounter 11 decision points, four of them critical, as the market throws scenario after scenario at your portfolio.
What unfolded was a 31.3% depreciation of the lira, moving from 4.7125 to 6.1855. The maximum drawdown hit 15.9%—a figure that would have eliminated many leveraged positions—while the largest single-day move reached an extreme 22.8%. These are not numbers from a stress test model; they are the actual historical record, replayed bar by bar so you can feel the weight of each decision in real time.
This replay is designed to test how you process information under stress, manage position sizing when volatility spikes, and avoid the psychological traps that catch traders during crises. The lesson is not to predict contagion but to build resilience—knowing when to stand firm and when to reduce exposure before the market decides for you. Simulated capital only, but the habits you form here carry real weight.
