Nine critical decision points await as you navigate what would become one of the most teachable market episodes of the 2010s.

The closing price ultimately settled at 3018.8, representing a decline of 23.9% over the replay period. The market carved through a maximum drawdown of 33.5% at its worst, with individual sessions delivering moves as large as 8.5% in a single day.
