What happened — and what it teaches
Coking coal is a cornerstone of steelmaking, and in January 2020 the world was about to learn just how fragile commodity markets could become. The replay spans 86 daily bars from January 22 to early June, a period when the coronavirus was evolving from a regional outbreak into a global economic shock. Participants enter a market where the pandemic narrative is shifting by the day, and every decision carries weight.
The numbers tell a story of turbulence: prices closed at 1220 and drifted to 1174, a modest end result of -3.8%, yet the journey was anything but calm. The maximum drawdown reached 19.7%, and one single session delivered a 10.1% move that would test the nerves of any trader. Across these 86 bars, players faced 15 decision points, with 5 deemed critical turning points where conviction and risk management mattered most.
What this replay teaches goes beyond reading a chart. Participants must manage position sizes, stick to process when volatility spikes, and confront the psychological temptation to react rather than respond. The scenario is a laboratory for building discipline under uncertainty, using real historical pressure to sharpen simulated judgment.
