stop trading
Measuring used by some major stock and commodities exchanges to restrict trading temporarily when markets rise or fall too far and/or too fast
A system of trading halts and price limits on equities and derivative markets designed to provide a cooling-off period during large, intraday market movements The first known use of the term circuit breaker in this context was in the Report of the Presidential Task Force on Market Mechanisms (January 1988), which recommended that circuit breakers be adopted following the market break of October 1987
Cut off the current if it reaches dangerous levels
In response to the market breaks in October 1987 and October 1989, the New York Stock Exchange instituted several circuit breakers to reduce market volatility and promote investor confidence
are a device to help alleviate the burden of property taxes Senior citizens or other residents whose income is below a certain amount get, for example, income tax refunds when the property taxes paid exceed a certain percentage of income
Measures instituted by the major stock and commodities exchange to halt trading temporarily in stocks and stock index futures when the market has fallen by a specified amount within a specified period Circuit breakers were instituted after Black Monday in 1987 and were modified following another sharp market drop in October 1989 Their purpose is to prevent a market free-fall by permitting a rebalancing of buy and sell orders
Safety device which automatically opens an electrical circuit if overloaded
Measures used by some major stock and commodities exchanges to restrict trading temporarily when markets rise or fall too far and/or too fast
over-current components that trip to open the circuit and protect other electrical/electronic components from excess current flow; see fusesCircuit breakers can be reset after they "trip" to continue protecting the circuit
Circuit breakers are the switches found in the electrical service box of homes Each circuit breaker protects a specific group of electric devices (outlets, overhead lights, appliances, etc ) If the devices draw too much power, the circuit breakers will shut-off ("trip") the power to all the devices to which it supplies electricity Once the problem has been fixed, the circuit breaker can be "reset " When working on home automation projects that involve the home's wiring the respective circuit breakers should always be turned off manually to avoid electrocution Caution: some wall boxes contain more than one switch or outlet, and these may receive their power from different circuit breakers Always turn off all electric current to the wall box being worked on
Procedures established to forestall the market from spiraling down Circuit breakers will "kick-in" when the market has dropped by a specific amount within a certain period At that time, the major stock and commodities exchanges will temporarily stop trading in stocks and stock index futures to give floor traders time to rebalance buy and sell orders Circuit breakers were introduced in 1987 after Black Monday The levels were revised when the market had another steep drop in October 1989
A complex series of rules adopted by securities and futures exchanges, in the aftermath of the 1987 Dow Jones crash, in an attempt to slow down market activity during periods of high volatility
Limits on NYSE trading established in response to October 1987 and October 1989 market breaks The point drops or increases that trigger circuit breaks are set quarterly as a percentage of DJIA The collar triggered at a decline or increase of 2% limits arbitrage sell or buy orders on S&P 500 stocks The collar triggered at a 10% decline halts trading for one hour if before 2 PM ET, or for 30 minutes if between 2 PM ET and 2: 30 PM ET The collar triggered at a 20% decline halts trading for two hours if before 1 PM ET, or for one hour if between 1 PM ET and 2 PM ET, or for the remainder of the day if later The collar triggered at a 30% decline halts trading for the remainder of the day Nasdaq follows NYSE in halting trading So far the only day when the trading was halted because of a decline was on October 27, 1997 due to a 7% decline (point values weren't adjusted to a percentage then)
Measures used by some major stock and commodities exchanges to restrict trading temporarily when markets rise or fall too far, too fast For example the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) employs a circuit breaker that will halt trading if the Dow Jones Industrial Average declines by more than 10% in one day BACK TO TOP
