What happened — and what it teaches
The USD/KRW pair entered early 2022 as geopolitical flashpoints in Eastern Europe began commanding global market attention. This replay spans 72 daily bars from January 28 to May 8, placing you inside the turbulence that followed when Russia invaded Ukraine. It was a test of how traders process sudden geopolitical shocks in an emerging-market currency closely tied to global risk appetite and supply chains.
The pair moved from 1203.46 to 1270.13, a 5.5% depreciation of the won over the period. The overall move masks a more complex picture: a maximum drawdown of 2.7% and a largest single-bar move of 1.5% indicate that daily volatility was significant even as the cumulative trend remained directional. Across these 72 sessions, 13 decision points were embedded—5 deemed critical—forcing traders to commit positions, adjust hedges, or stand aside at moments when the path forward was far from obvious.
For decision training, this scenario isolates the challenge of operating under geopolitical uncertainty where fundamentals are secondary to headlines. The process lesson centers on sizing: a 1.5% single-bar move demands position discipline that prevents any one wrong call from derailing the portfolio. Psychologically, participants must confront the temptation to over-trade during war coverage and instead practice the patience required to let macro themes resolve on their own timeline. Surviving these sessions teaches that capital preservation during crisis often matters more than capturing directional alpha.
