What happened — and what it teaches
The scenario places you in the volatile world of coffee futures during the final months of 2021. The period from October 7, 2021 to January 10, 2022 unfolded against a backdrop of accelerating inflation and a Federal Reserve signaling a hawkish pivot. You will navigate 12 decision points, including 4 critical calls, across 66 daily bars of authentic price action. The central question is whether you can manage risk and capture directional opportunity in one of the most operationally challenging soft commodity markets.
The market delivered an 18.7% surge as coffee moved from 197.9 to 234.9 over the data span. However, this upward trajectory was far from linear—the market experienced a maximum drawdown of 10.8%, and traders had to contend with the largest single-bar move of 4.9%. These fluctuations tested every participant's ability to stay disciplined through volatility rather than react emotionally to intraday noise.
This replay is designed as a decision-training exercise, not a prediction contest. The key lessons center on three pillars: process discipline in executing a trading plan despite uncertainty, risk management through position sizing and drawdown tolerance, and psychological resilience when facing adverse moves. By replaying this historically significant period, you can refine how you think about uncertainty, build confidence in your decision-making framework, and develop the emotional equilibrium essential for navigating live markets.
