Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The scenario recreates the USD/CLP market during the first half of 2006, a period marked by carry trade dynamics and emerging-market volatility. Starting February 15, 2006, traders face 130 daily bars of historical price action as the Chilean peso experienced speculative pressures against the US dollar. The pair begins at 530.5, setting the stage for a replay that tests participants' ability to navigate a bubble environment where fundamentals often took a back seat to momentum and risk sentiment.
The replay covers the entire journey from 530.5 to 540.5, representing a modest 1.9% appreciation in the peso. However, this seemingly tame outcome conceals significant turbulence: a maximum drawdown of 9.3% tested portfolio resilience, while a single session delivered a 5.7% shock that would have destroyed inadequate position sizing. These statistics alone cannot capture the psychological strain of holding through such volatility.
The scenario presents 23 decision points across this period, with 8 deemed critical junctures where directional conviction was most essential. For training purposes, this replay emphasizes position sizing discipline, as the 5.7% single-bar shock demonstrates how leverage amplifies tail risks. It also highlights the importance of maintaining conviction when fundamentals suggest one direction but technical and sentiment indicators point elsewhere. Traders must develop the psychological resilience to endure drawdowns without abandoning well-reasoned strategies, as evidenced by the eventual recovery despite intermediate losses exceeding 9.3%.
