What happened — and what it teaches

Around late March 2020, the Brent crude oil benchmark faced an unprecedented crisis. COVID-19 was spreading globally, demand was collapsing, and oil markets were in turmoil. This replay covers the period from March 24 to June 19, 2020 — a 62 trading day window where traders had to navigate extreme uncertainty under simulated capital conditions.

Over this stretch, Brent crude swung dramatically, recording a maximum drawdown of 43.3% and a largest single-bar move of 24.4%. Yet the period ended with prices rising from 27.15 to 42.19, a gain of 55.4%. The scenario presents 11 decision points, 4 of them critical moments where directional bets could mean the difference between significant gains or losses.

This replay teaches the importance of position sizing and emotional discipline in high-volatility environments. Traders confronting a 43.3% peak-to-trough decline must resist panic selling, while those betting on recovery need to manage risk when a single day can shift 24.4%. The 4 critical decision points become training grounds for testing how systematic approaches handle the psychological pressures of extreme market stress, all under AI coach review.
