Historical Financial Crisis & Balance Sheet Simulator
Interactive macroeconomic stress replay engine. Simulate survival across 4 defining systemic dislocations (1998 LTCM, 2008 Lehman/GFC, March 2020 COVID Dash for Cash, and March 2023 SVB Duration Run) under 4 institutional balance sheet profiles (Defined Benefit Pension, Regional Commercial Bank, Multi-Family Office, and Global Macro Hedge Fund). Real-time Basel III LCR calculus, duration gaps, Kyle's fire-sale slippage, and strategic capital defense levers.

REAL-TIME SVG TELEMETRYQuantitative Methodology & Mathematical Formulations
This simulator applies deterministic institutional stress formulas utilized by the Federal Reserve (DFAST/CCAR), the Bank for International Settlements (Basel Committee), and top macro relative-value desks:
$$\text{LCR} = \frac{\text{HQLA}}{\text{Net 30-Day Cash Outflows}} \ge 100\%$$
Quantifies unencumbered Level 1/2A assets available to cover immediate 30-day institutional deposit and margin runoffs.
$$\Delta E \approx - \left[ D_A - \left(\frac{L}{A}\right) D_L \right] A \cdot \frac{\Delta y}{1+y}$$
Measures sensitivity of net equity capital to parallel yield curve shifts given asset and liability duration asymmetry.
$$\Delta P = \lambda \cdot Q = \left( \frac{\sigma_v}{2 \sigma_u} \right) Q$$
Endogenous price impact from forced asset liquidations; slippage scales quadratically with liquidation size $Q$.
$$\text{Gross Leverage} \le \frac{1}{h_t}$$
Proves how counterparty margin haircut increases from $h_0$ to $h_1$ trigger mandatory de-grossing and capital contraction.
