What happened — and what it teaches
The FTSE 100 entered March 2014 confronting a landscape shadowed by intensifying geopolitical tensions. As regional conflict risks escalated into policy-driven headlines, the index navigated 150 daily bars of simulated trading across eight months. Twenty-six decision points were embedded throughout this period, nine of them critical moments where directional conviction mattered most. The stakes were clear: maintain composure under uncertainty or let headlines erode disciplined process.
The index closed the period at 6453.9, declining 2.0% from its opening 6588.3. Yet this headline figure masks considerable turbulence: a maximum drawdown of 9.9% tested portfolio resilience, while the largest single-day move reached 2.8%, punishing those caught without contingency plans. These figures illustrate why war-risk scenarios demand more than directional conviction — they require sizing discipline and pre-defined response protocols.
This replay teaches that geopolitical volatility strips away comfortable certainties, forcing traders to confront their actual risk tolerance. The 26 decision points serve as deliberate pressure tests, each revealing whether one's process survives when headlines scream and correlations distort. The largest single-bar move of 2.8% reminds us that tail events arrive without warning, making pre-commitment to rules more valuable than prediction. War-risk scenarios ultimately reward those who separate signal from noise, maintain position discipline during drawdowns, and review whether their psychological responses align with their stated strategy.
