What happened — and what it teaches
The Straits Times Index entered November 2019 near record highs, riding a decade of post-GFC recovery. As 2020 began, a novel coronavirus outbreak in China would soon cascade into a global pandemic, threatening every corner of financial markets. This replay compresses 144 trading days—spanning the 2010s into the 2020s—into a decision-training scenario where every bar could test your conviction.
From 3207.85 in late November 2019, the index plunged to 2634.92 by late June 2020, a decline of -17.9%. The journey was brutal: a maximum drawdown of 31.9% devoured years of gains, while the largest single session delivered a 7.4% move that would have tested even the steadiest hands. Navigating 25 decision points—9 deemed critical—across this tape required discipline most traders never develop in bull markets.
This scenario strips away the comfort of trending markets. Participants must practice sizing positions when volatility spikes, sticking to process when headlines scream panic, and distinguishing between fear-driven noise and genuine signal. The tape rewards those who have rehearsed worst-case psychology before living through one. Every critical decision point becomes a mirror reflecting habits that succeed or fail under pressure. Historical context transforms abstract risk numbers into visceral lessons that no classroom can replicate.
