What happened — and what it teaches
In the spring of 2011 the FTSE 100 hovered around 5942.7, riding on fragile post‑crisis optimism. Beneath the surface, eurozone sovereign debt concerns were rekindling, threatening the fragile recovery of European markets. This replay transports you back to that uncertain era, asking you to navigate each session as the crisis unfolded over 144 trading days.
What followed was a sustained decline: the index fell 10.6% to close at 5312.8, with a maximum drawdown of 18.3%. The largest single session swing reached 4.7%, a reminder of how quickly sentiment could shift. Across the period you will encounter 25 decision points, of which 9 are marked as critical, each testing your ability to read evolving policy signals and manage exposure under pressure.
This scenario sharpens the discipline of process over prediction. The teaching is not that one could have anticipated every turn, but that systematic risk management and emotional composure matter more than foresight. Practising through these historical sessions builds the habits—position sizing, stops, review—that distinguish disciplined traders when markets move unpredictably.
