Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The Portuguese PSI 20 index presented a compelling 2020s replay scenario spanning from November 2025 to early April 2026. Over 104 authentic daily bars, traders faced the challenge of navigating an equity market during a sustained uptrend, where the stakes included capturing directional momentum while managing the psychological pressures that accompany rising prices. This period tested participants' ability to maintain discipline amid shifting market dynamics.
The index climbed from 8425.88 to 9299.86, delivering a solid 10.4% gain across the replay window. However, the journey was far from linear—a maximum drawdown of 5.8% reminded participants that even apparent uptrends contain retracements. The largest single session brought a 4.2% move, underscoring that volatility can surprise even experienced observers. These authentic price movements created 11 decision points, with 4 designated as critical junctures where directional conviction and risk calibration were most severely tested.
For decision training purposes, this replay illuminates the tension between patience and opportunism. Capturing the full 10.4% required tolerating the 5.8% drawdown without abandoning the thesis, while the 4.2% intraday swings demanded emotional resilience. Participants learned that process discipline—sticking to predefined rules rather than reacting to short-term noise—ultimately determines whether an observable trend translates into realized performance. The PSI 20 scenario remains a valuable case study for understanding how volatility and conviction interact across a multi-month equity advance.
