Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
This replay immerses you in RBOB gasoline futures during the summer and fall of 2011, when the European sovereign debt crisis was deepening and the United States faced an unprecedented credit rating downgrade in August. Energy markets were caught between demand destruction fears and broader financial system stress. The scenario spans 122 trading days from June 22 to December 13, placing you inside a market that was navigating genuinely uncertain conditions without clear precedent.
Over that five-and-a-half-month period, RBOB gasoline futures declined 11.4%, falling from 2.97 to 2.63.

This scenario trains your ability to manage positions through extended volatility while preserving capital and discipline. The 22.2% drawdown demonstrates how sustained adverse moves can test your conviction and risk framework. The 6.5% single-bar spikes require you to have pre-defined responses rather than react emotionally. Working through 21 decision points, including 7 critical ones, hones the decision-making process that separates disciplined practitioners from impulsive ones when uncertainty peaks.
