What do commodity traders look like years ago?

Commodities are on fire at this forum. We are currently entering a supercycle of commodity and have made a lot of money. However, what were traders like during the last down cycle? It seems it has lasted much more years than ever. I'm very interested in understanding this to better assess the potential downside risks and income situations in the future
