Stock trading halts are one of those dynamics that most beginner day traders do not understand. In fact, most beginner day traders in the stock market who are just getting started do not even realize they exist, hence the warning in this video! If you are new to the stock market and have no idea what I mean when I say “stock trading halt”, that’s okay. Common sense and logic would lead you to believe a stock with move in price up and down as supply and demand determines. Unfortunately though, that’s not quite how it works in reality. There are self admittedly some areas of the stock market and trading that do not need to be really understood, such as some of the more advanced mathematic areas; however, that’s not the case here. The concept of trading halts is very straight-forward, but even more-so, it’s super important you are aware they exist and the potential problems they present. Instead of talking “in theory”, I will be using some of my personal day trading stock results that show you a halt in motion. While the price action and halt was unfortunate for me, I hope it becomes a great learning experience for you and serves as a massive day trader warning on why stock trading halts need to be factored into trade strategies and rules!
