What happened — and what it teaches
Between July 2014 and February 2015, the FTSE 100 navigated a landscape defined by Ebola-related uncertainty and policy responses across global markets. This seven-month period placed investors in the crosscurrents of pandemic fear, risk-off positioning, and central bank signaling. With 150 daily bars unfolding and 26 decision points punctuating the journey, participants faced the challenge of reading evolving sentiment without the clarity of hindsight.
The index closed the period at 6829.1, up 2.3% from its opening 6672.4, yet this modest net gain masked significant turbulence. The maximum drawdown reached 10.1%, and the largest single trading day move spanned 2.8%, reflecting the sharp volatility spikes that accompany fear-driven selling and subsequent relief rallies. These extremes tested risk discipline and position management throughout the era.
This replay hones decision training through exposure to fear-driven markets where process outweighs prediction. Nine critical decision points force learners to confront loss aversion, manage drawdown risk, and distinguish signal from noise under pressure. The scenario illuminates how pandemics create episodic volatility that can be survived through disciplined risk management rather than directional conviction.
