Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The replay spans 2019-08-20 to 2019-11-22, covering 68 daily bars of Brent crude oil during the US-China trade conflict escalation. This was a period when energy markets faced intense uncertainty, with tariffs affecting global growth expectations and oil demand forecasts. Participants must navigate this environment where geopolitical tensions directly influenced commodity valuations.
The data shows Brent crude swinging from 60.03 to 63.39, a modest 5.6% net gain over the period. Yet beneath this headline number lay a turbulent journey, with a 16.4% maximum drawdown and a largest single-bar move of 14.6%. The 12 decision points embedded in the replay (4 critical) mirror the real pressure traders faced when positions moved against them or breakout opportunities emerged unexpectedly.
This scenario tests whether you can stick to a process when headlines scream risk-off, size positions appropriately for a 16.4% drawdown environment, and resist recency bias after a volatile single-day swing. Working through each decision point without the benefit of hindsight trains the habits that separate disciplined traders from reactive ones. The replay offers a historical laboratory for building that muscle memory in simulated conditions.
