The Limit Up–Limit Down (LULD) Rule is designed to prevent trades from occurring at prices that are significantly outside a stock’s recent trading range.
How it works:
- Each stock has price bands set above and below its recent average price
- If the price moves outside these bands, trading may be paused temporarily
Important:
- TradeZero will continue to accept and route orders during a halt
- Orders are handled on a best-efforts basis when trading resumes
- The reopening price may be significantly different from the prior price
Risk Considerations:
- Large price moves after a halt may impact your account, especially if using margin
- This may result in automatic position liquidations based on risk controls
