Halts

Today's trading halts across NASDAQ/NYSE/AMEX — live, refreshed every 15 seconds. LULD pauses, T1/T5 news pendings, market-wide circuit breakers, and resume times when they're lifted. Free, no signup.

/Halts shows every trading halt that hits a U.S. exchange LIVE — name, time halted, reason code, and the time it's scheduled to resume once the exchange lifts it. Updated every 15 seconds, no account needed.

What you'll see

  • Trading halts in progress — rows close-ordered: symbol, halt/reason code, time halted, resume time once the exchange announces it.
  • What the codes mean

- LULD: Limit Up / Limit Down — a pause after a big fast move (worst 5-minute stretch).

- T1: News pending. The story is coming; the halt is so nobody trades ahead unaware.

- T5: Regulation. Structure/regulatory issue — serious, uncommon.

- M: Market-wide circuit breaker (index halts after big crashes).

- Others: you'll see codes like T12, T2 from special factors — the row's reason field spells it out.

  • Resume time once announced (some halts announce after an hour or when the day ends).

When to scan it

  • You stared at a big mover on the scanner (guide) and want the reason it just froze.
  • You're holding a position that got halted — this is the confirmation you want before you sell blind.
  • A day like Aug 12th 2025: checking whether what looks like a glitch is actually a market-wide circuit breaker. (It was real.)
