On September 15, 2026, U.S. exchanges issued 50 trading halts: 50 LULD halt volatility pauses, zero T1 news-pending halts, and no other regulatory halts. RETO was the dominant story of the session, triggering a circuit breaker 22 separate times between late morning and the closing bell — an unusually persistent run of limit-up/limit-down pauses in a single name. Because there were no T1 halt events today, every halt on the tape was mechanical volatility rather than news-pending or regulatory intervention. Sessions like this one are exactly the kind traders review afterward when journaling, and if you are evaluating tools for that workflow, our TradeZella comparison covers how Tapeboard stacks up.

Halt-by-Halt Summary
RETO accounted for 22 of the day's 50 halts, all LUDP limit-up/limit-down pauses on NASDAQ, beginning at 11:42 AM ET and recurring through 3:49 PM ET. None of today's halts were T1 news-pending or T12 regulatory events; every pause was a mechanical volatility halt, including the two M-code volatility pauses in TEMC (Non NASDAQ) and SIM (AMEX). RFAI (4 halts), MEDS (5 halts), and FEED (4 halts) rounded out the most frequently paused names.
What Is an LULD Halt?
A Limit Up-Limit Down halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a defined percentage away from its recent five-minute average. The bands are 5% for most large-cap S&P 500 names, 10% for smaller stocks, and 20% for stocks under $3. Most LULD halts last five minutes.
What Does a T1 Halt Mean?
A T1 halt is a regulatory pause pending the release of material news. It has no fixed duration and resumes when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
Halt Code Reference
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | News pending | Trading paused pending release of material news |
| T2 | News released | Pause while news is disseminated and absorbed |
| T12 | Additional information requested | Halted pending additional information from the issuer |
| M / LUDP | LULD volatility halt | Limit-up/limit-down volatility pause |
| H10 / H11 | Regulatory / SEC | Regulatory or SEC-imposed trading suspension |
| T6 | Extraordinary market activity | Halt due to extraordinary market activity |
