Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The FTSE 100 entered August 2015 at 6752.4 as Britain entered a period of fiscal consolidation. This historical replay spans 144 trading days from 2015-08-05 to 2016-02-26, immersing you in a decade of the 2010s when policy-driven uncertainty tested market conviction. You will face 25 decision points, 9 of them critical junctures where directional calls and position sizing determined whether capital survived the turbulence. The stakes were clear: navigating policy risk without the benefit of hindsight.
By the end of February 2016 the index closed at 6096, a decline of -9.7% from the starting level. The journey was not a straight line; the maximum drawdown reached 18.0% at its worst, meaning positions held through the full period experienced substantial interim losses. The largest single-bar move of 4.7% on any given day could swing a portfolio significantly, underscoring how daily volatility compounds into meaningful period-level damage. Navigating these swings required discipline and a clear process.
This replay teaches that policy uncertainty can persist for months, eroding confidence even when fundamentals remain opaque. You will practice sizing positions so that a -9.7% index move and an 18.0% drawdown do not produce catastrophic portfolio losses. The psychological challenge is perhaps the greatest lesson: holding through a 4.7% single-day loss, or resisting the urge to add to a losing position during a drawdown, requires a disciplined framework developed through deliberate practice in simulated conditions.
