Circuit breakers are mechanisms designed to halt trading during sharp market declines, offering traders a chance to reassess conditions. For equities and futures markets, these halts occur at specific thresholds:
Level 1: A 7% drop triggers a 15-minute pause if before 2:25 PM CT.
Level 2: A 13% drop also results in a 15-minute halt under similar conditions.
Level 3: A 20% drop stops trading for the rest of the day.
While we do not have restrictions on trading around circuit breakers, failing to manage your positions during volatile periods can have consequences, including account breaches.
It is the responsibility of each trader to manage their positions and orders before and after any trading halts, as all TradeFundrr rules will continue to apply during these periods of volatility.
