What happened

A synthetic 100-tick scenario simulating ETH reacting to a bearish geopolitical news

shock. Price holds near $3,500 for the first 30 seconds, then a tariff headline lands

and the market crashes 15% over the next minute before a partial recovery.

What this tests

  • Reading bearish news and reducing exposure
  • Avoiding the temptation to "buy the dip" too aggressively
  • Closing flat by the final tick for clean realized PnL
