Event Replay

What happened — and what it teaches

The replay reconstructs 62 daily sessions of a US technology sector ETF during the 2010s, spanning from late September through mid-December 2014. This was a period when investors were navigating post-crisis markets with evolving monetary policy expectations and growing technology sector influence. Participants enter this scenario with simulated capital and face 11 decision points across five weeks of authentic historical data.

The ETF opened at 20.12 and closed the period at 20.78, delivering a 3.3% return. However, this seemingly modest advance contained meaningful turbulence: a maximum drawdown of 7.6% tested positions at various intervals, while the largest single-bar swing of 2.9% demonstrated how quickly sentiment could shift within a trending market. These figures illustrate that outcomes alone rarely capture the psychological pressure of intermediate reversals.

This scenario sharpens decision-making by forcing participants to define entry logic, manage position size against the 7.6% drawdown ceiling, and maintain discipline when facing 2.9% adverse moves. The contrast between a 2.9% single-bar swing and the final 3.3% net result underscores how process and psychology determine whether traders survive volatility long enough to capture trends. Four critical decision points serve as focal moments where choices compound across the replay.
