Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
The Mexican IPC entered a turbulent phase in the 1990s, and this replay transports participants back to September-October 1995, when the index confronted a meaningful correction. Seven decision points are embedded across 38 daily bars, three of them flagged as critical moments where outcomes could diverge sharply. The stakes center on navigating sustained downside pressure while preserving capital and opportunity.
From the data window spanning 1995-08-24 to 1995-10-17, the IPC closed at 2432.6 before ultimately settling near 2302, representing a -5.4% decline over the full period. The correction proved more volatile than the net figure suggests: maximum drawdown hit 13.4%, and the largest single-bar move reached 4.2%. Participants who focused only on the headline number would have missed the intraperiod swings that defined this environment.
This replay sharpens decision training across three dimensions. Process discipline is tested when each of the seven decision points demands a reasoned response rather than a reactive one. Risk calibration comes into focus through the 13.4% drawdown, a reminder that position sizing and stop logic must account for periods worse than the average outcome. Psychological resilience is perhaps the deepest lesson: staying objective when a 4.2% single-day drop materializes separates structured decision-makers from those who abandon their plans under pressure.
