What happened — and what it teaches
This replay covers iron ore trading from 2025-02-17 to 2025-08-08, a 120-day window spanning the 2020s. Iron ore is a critical input for global steel production, and the period was marked by geopolitical tensions and trade policy uncertainty. Participants in this scenario face the challenge of navigating a market where commodity prices are highly sensitive to macro forces and policy shifts.
Over the course of this period, iron ore closed at 806.5 and ultimately settled at 773.5, representing a decline of 4.1%. The journey was far from smooth—prices experienced a maximum drawdown of 17.8%, and the largest single-day move reached 5.6%. These figures illustrate how sustained volatility can erode positions even when the overall directional move appears modest.
This scenario tests several key competencies: position sizing to withstand a 17.8% drawdown, discipline to avoid reactive decisions during a 5.6% single-bar swing, and the ability to identify critical decision points amid noise. With 21 decision points including 7 critical junctures, participants learn that surviving drawdowns requires both robust risk management and psychological resilience.
