Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
This replay immerses you in 116 daily bars of coking coal, a critical input for steelmaking, spanning from November 20, 2019 through May 14, 2020. The scenario bridges the late 2010s into the early pandemic-disrupted months of the 2020s, a period when global commodity markets faced unprecedented uncertainty as supply chains and industrial demand rapidly shifted.
The price trajectory tells a story of sustained pressure: coking coal fell from 1266 to 1127, a decline of -11.0%. The journey was far from smooth, with a maximum drawdown of 19.7% and a largest single-bar move of 10.1% that would have tested even experienced traders. Across these 116 sessions, you encounter 20 decision points, with 7 deemed critical moments where positioning and risk management decisions carried heightened consequence.
For decision training, this scenario excels at exposing the gap between intellectual understanding of risk and its lived experience. The sharp single-day move and persistent drawdown teach that volatility is not merely a statistic but a test of process and psychology. Navigating this environment requires disciplined risk assessment, clear contingency planning, and emotional composure when positions move against expectations. Historical market episodes like this one offer invaluable classrooms for building those competencies without real capital at stake.
