Circuit Breaker

Market Structure

O que significa

A market-wide rule that pauses all trading if a major index falls a set amount in a day, to let traders calm down. Different levels trigger longer pauses.

Exemplo

In the US, if the S&P 500 drops 7% before 3:25 p.m., trading halts for 15 minutes (Level 1). A 13% drop triggers another 15-minute halt; a 20% drop ends trading for the day.

Erro comum de iniciantes

Beginners expect their stop-loss to protect them during a circuit-breaker halt. It cannot -- once trading resumes, price may gap straight through your stop to a much worse fill.
