What happened — and what it teaches
In early 2000, the S&P/BMV IPC stood as Mexico's primary equity benchmark, tracking the largest companies on the Mexican Stock Exchange. The replay spans February to May 2000, covering 54 daily bars of trading data. Participants enter a period when emerging market equities faced mounting pressures from shifting global interest rate expectations and regional economic uncertainty.
The IPC declined from 7345.57 to 6083.98, a loss of -17.2% over the data span. The journey was brutal: the index experienced a maximum drawdown of 26.9%, with volatility punctuated by single days moving as much as 7.9%. Ten decision points are embedded throughout, four of which represent critical junctures where positioning and risk management decisions carried heightened consequences.
This replay sharpens several core competencies. First, it forces disciplined drawdown management—when an index surrenders more than a quarter of its value, the temptation to hold and hope versus cutting risk becomes a psychological test. Second, the oversized single-bar moves demand clear pre-commitment to exit criteria, since reactive decisions in the moment often prove costly. Third, navigating 10 decision points across volatile markets builds muscle memory for scenario planning under uncertainty. The goal is not prediction but process: understanding how your decision-making degrades under stress and refining the rules that keep you disciplined when conviction alone is insufficient.
