What happened — and what it teaches
The replay transports you to the ferrous commodities market in the opening weeks of a global pandemic. Between March 25 and June 18, 2020, industrial demand collapsed, supply chains froze, and uncertainty dominated trading desks worldwide. For market participants navigating this period, understanding how coking coal—the key input for steelmaking—behaved under pandemic stress was essential to survival and strategy.
The 58 daily bars that unfold tell a story of violent oscillation. Starting at 1801, the price ultimately closed at 1953.5, delivering an 8.5% gain—but not before suffering an 11.5% drawdown and enduring a 9.6% single-bar swing that could wipe out weeks of careful positioning in a single session. Across the period you will face 11 decision points, four of them critical junctures where the margin between preservation and loss narrowed to a razor's edge.
This scenario sharpens decision training in three dimensions: process discipline under chaotic data flow, risk calibration when max drawdown can arrive without warning, and psychological resilience when a 9.6% intraday move tests your conviction. The 2020s era context reminds us that pandemic-era volatility was not an aberration but a template for future shocks. Step through each session, let the AI coach dissect your simulated trades, and internalize the lessons that no textbook can replicate.
