Play this chartThe shape of this chart
Nvidia from February 2, 2000 to November 14, 2000 holds a boom and a break in one window. Close to close it is still +258.3%, and that number hides the split: the first hundred sessions are +325.5%, the last hundred are −15.8%. The drop from the high reaches −53.9%. The worst session, March 14, 2000, is −26.2%. The low is early, session 4 on February 7, 2000. The damage that matters comes after the spike.
What you trade
Buy and hold over these 200 sessions finishes at +258.3%, and the drop from a high inside the window reaches −53.9%. The low is session 4 (February 7, 2000). Beating that benchmark depends on how much of the decline you sit out or sell short, and on whether you get back in if the chart turns. The worst session is March 14, 2000, at −26.2%.
This page names Nvidia because this challenge is that company. The daily puzzle and a random practice game keep the company hidden. Inside this round the chart still hides the name and the dates until you finish.
