Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The scene recreates the FTSE 100 across 144 daily bars from 2012-03-08 to 2012-10-04, a period when European sovereign debt fears dominated market psychology. Spain's banking sector required potential state intervention, creating cross-market uncertainty that pressured global equity indices. For traders, this was a test of how to act when the fundamental picture remained deliberately unclear and headlines could swing sentiment violently from one session to the next.
By the end of the period the FTSE 100 closed at 5827.8 from 5859.7, a net decline of -0.5%. That modest headline figure concealed an 11.8% maximum drawdown and a largest single-bar move of 2.5%, meaning participants who did not actively manage risk faced substantial temporary losses even if they ultimately held onto positions. The volatility was not a single event but a series of reversal episodes driven by shifting bailout expectations.
This replay places 25 decision points, of which 9 are critical, to train a disciplined process under sustained uncertainty. Participants practice sizing positions before volatility spikes, sticking to stop logic when drawdowns deepen, and resisting the urge to overtrade during ambiguous news cycles. The goal is building habits that survive periods where the right answer is not obvious and the market offers no immediate confirmation.
