A circuit breaker is an automatic, temporary trading halt on certain securities when the underlying stock is experiencing times of high volatility. It is a measure put in place to help restore, and bring order to the markets.
One of the more common types of halts is a limit up, or a limit down (LULD) circuit breaker. This is a five-minute halt to pause trading on stocks priced above $3 that move more than 10% in a five-minute period.
