What happened — and what it teaches
In spring 2020, the global coffee market faced the extraordinary volatility of the post-pandemic era. Over 66 trading days spanning May 6 to August 7, traders navigated an environment shaped by unprecedented monetary stimulus, shifting demand patterns, and the inherent unpredictability of agricultural commodities. This replay places you at the center of that uncertainty, where every daily bar could mean the difference between protecting capital and watching it erode.
The numbers tell a story of resilience amid turbulence. Coffee prices climbed 5.6% over the period, closing at 115.45 from an opening of 109.35, but the journey was anything but smooth. The market experienced a maximum drawdown of 14.9%, a figure that would test even seasoned traders' conviction. The largest single-bar move of 7.8% demonstrates the kind of violent price swings that can trigger emotional decision-making. Navigating this environment required not just analysis, but discipline.
This scenario sharpens decision-making through 12 carefully placed decision points, with 4 critical moments demanding your best judgment. The educational value lies in experiencing how a 14.9% drawdown feels in real-time, understanding position sizing under uncertainty, and developing the psychological resilience to maintain strategic focus during extreme volatility. The goal isn't predicting the next 7.8% move—it is building the process and mindset to respond effectively when it happens.
