Trading halt

A trading halt is a temporary stop in trading for a particular security or market. An exchange may call one before important company news, during an extreme price move, or when there is a serious imbalance between buy and sell orders. While the halt is active, normal trades cannot be completed on that venue. Existing orders may also be cancelled or held, depending on the rules. When trading restarts, the first available price can be far from the last price before the halt because new information and orders have built up. A halt is temporary, while a suspension may last much longer.
